The centers serve people across the greater Wake County region and thousands of families receive help every year, including the homeless and people with no money. Most of the clothing and furniture banks rely on the availability of donated goods so resources are limited. The clothing closets may offer winter coats, free clothes to children, professional work attire, or even birthday gifts/toys and more.
In addition, many of the chatty organizations also have furniture banks. They give out stuff such as a bed, couches, mattresses and other items (often gently used) to help people furnish their home. Some free appliances may be offered too. Some people may receive the items for free, including vouchers or gift certificates to use while shopping. Other locations, in particular the thrift stores, may sell the items at a low cost.
