Mover/Driver

ABOUT US

Furnish Hope's story traces back to October 2018 when Founder and Executive Director Megan Martin, took a step of faith despite the trying circumstances her family had recently overcome. The vision was to bring hope to local families restarting a home by providing basic essentials at no cost. This began a journey to start furnishing homes in March of 2019 that would far exceed the original vision. Rooted in the belief that leading in love is the best way to live out their faith and that nobody should feel shame due to their circumstances, Furnish Hope established Central Oregon’s only furniture bank, one that would grow to serve all three counties of Deschutes, Jefferson, and Crook. This journey of love, compassion, and dedication continues to shape Furnish Hope's legacy, significantly impacting thousands of lives.
