Thank you to all of our partners and sponsors, who continue to make our work possible.

Penske Truck Rental

Every Wednesday evening we are welcomed by the staff of Penske Truck Rentals at 2323 Stevenage Rd. When we return after our work of furnishing homes, we are always welcomed with big smiles, conversation, and of course great professionalism. Not only by the staff in charge of rentals, but also by the staff in the garage who come to check us in on most nights when we return.

Helping With Furniture has been supported by Penske Truck Rentals for over four years now, and their generosity has amazed us from day one. What amazes us even more is that we truly feel that helping us do our work for society really matters to them. Not only through the use of their trucks, but also that staff also volunteer with us and attend our fundraiser. It hit us that, “Dedicated to excellence,” it's not just their motto: They live it day after day with all of their customers.

Ottawa Trillium Foundation

The Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) is an agency of the Government of Ontario, and one of Canada’s leading granting foundations.

In 2020/21, OTF supported Ontario’s economic recovery by helping non-profit organizations rebuild and recover from the impacts of COVID-19.

Merkburn Holdings Limited

When Helping with Furniture appealed to the public for a hero to come forward and help us expand our operations, it was Merkburn Holdings who answered the call. We were in desperate need of a place to store the extra furniture and household items we needed to help Syrian refugee families settling in Ottawa. Merkburn Holdings very generously donated the use of their 7,200 square feet warehouse and office space on Star Top Road. This donation allowed HWF to temporarily expand our operations and we, as well as the families helped, couldn’t be more grateful.

Merkburn Holdings Limited, incorporated since 1969, owns and manages over one million square feet of commercial and industrial properties in the Ottawa/Gatineau region. Merkburn’s portfolio of properties is quite diverse, and includes facilities for offices, warehouses, and showrooms, as well as manufacturing and production facilities.

Pods

Our small warehouse was overflowing with furniture; we were struggling to fit in all the donations from generous Ottawa citizens wanting to help families who are restarting their lives. Peter Hauderowicz, owner of PODS Moving and Storage in Ottawa, offered to donate units to handle the overflow. We said "Yes" (enthusiastically) and, the next day, two PODS containers were set up in the parking lot outside our warehouse!

Pods are invaluable as both storage units and as staging areas where families’ donations are placed. Parties who are picking up furniture for their sponsored families can be directed right to their pod, where they find everything waiting to be loaded into their truck.

Thank you PODS Ottawa… you are really making a difference!
