Furniture
  • Meeting families clothing needs didn’t seem like enough when many had no furniture including no beds. Today, we supply beds, dressers, tables, chairs, lamps and other household essentials. We deliver, but try to enlist the help of the receiving family when possible. We help families and individuals who are referred by Waterbury or regional agencies such as Salvation Army or Safe Haven.
  • We do not have infant beds or furniture or other infant needs. Please contact Hope Crisis Pregnancy Center in Cheshire, CT who may be able to help you with these needs. Their phone number is (203) 271-2703 and their email is hopepcct@att.net.
  • Please contact the Acts 4 Office with your request by calling (203) 574-2287. We will conduct an initial phone interview to review your needs. Then Acts 4 volunteers will make an appointment to visit your home to meet your family and make a final list of your furniture needs. After this, an appointment will be made to deliver the furniture when it becomes available.
