Benton, Linn and surrounding Counties that collects and
redistributes donated furniture and household items at no cost to

transparency in all financial aspects of the organization,
preserving the dignity of clients, and providing services in a
timely and cost effective manner that honors the donors who keep our
doors open.
Mission
Benton Furniture Share (BFS) is a non-profit 501 (c) (3)
organization in operation since 1998 that diverts furniture from the
landfill and redistributes quality used furniture, at no cost to
individuals and families in need to improve family interactions,
increase comfort and safety in homes, the ability to sleep
comfortably, eat meals together, and study comfortably to increase
wellness, independence, physical and mental health.
Why We Do This
The service addresses a long-standing need in the community by
providing a mutual solution that keeps too much good, usable
furniture from going into the landfill that could be in the homes of
those without basic furniture amenities.
