The mission of the National Furniture Bank Association is to assure that no child in America has to sleep on the floor.  Each night in America, hundreds of thousands of people sleep in places not meant for human habitation, or in homes without the basic essential furnishings needed to turn an empty house into a home.  40% of that population is children.  Members of the National Furniture Bank Association around the country provide beds, tables, chairs and other crucial home furnishings to over 100,000 people each year.  The NFBA exists to assist those furniture banks in their mission to serve those in need.
