It takes hundreds of volunteers for the Flourish Furnishings to operate. Our volunteers’ help ranges from woodworking, sewing, packing, shopping, and moving. We’d love to have you join one of our teams!

Donate

Help us improve the lives of people transitioning out of homelessness and poverty in the metro Kansas City area. Whether in-kind or monetary, every little bit helps us furnish homes with hope so our clients can FLOURISH.

Clients
