Build/assemble/paint furniture to make a house a home with New Life Furniture Bank:

• 9:00a -11:30a meet at New Life Furniture (11335 Reed Hartman Hwy. Unit 134 in Blue Ash)
• A team of up to 10 people (ages 12 and up) will help assemble tables (two people can assemble a table in 1 hour).
• All skill levels (no experience needed) can participate – there will be an experienced woodworking crew there to help and train you on what to do. No tools needed everything will be provided including ear and eye protection. 
• What to bring/know: Please wear closed toe shoes, paint clothes (you might be painting finished tables), and bring a water bottle. Please no jewelry and all long hair must be tied back. You may want to bring work gloves as you’ll be handling pre-cut wood. You will be working in a woodshop area – it can be dusty and you will have exposure to sawdust. If you have alleries or concerns, please bring a face-mask – otherwise masks aren’t required.
• Imagine a home without a kitchen table to gather around. Imagine eating a meal with your children on the floor. Many families living in extreme poverty, overcoming homelessness and other extreme circumstances are facing this reality. YOU can help change that by building/assembling a kitchen table, coffee table or other useful piece of furniture for families in need in Cincinnati with New Life Furniture Bank.
