Through the end of August, IRN provided 95,282 pieces of furniture and equipment to U.S. and worldwide nonprofits.\u00a0 These include 42,000 chairs and other seating; 13,000 desks; 10,000 beds and mattresses; 10,000 tables; 4,200 dressers and wardrobes; 4,000 bookcases; plus lighting, appliances, storage cabinets, and thousands of other items.<\/p>\n

IRN sourced furnishings from 112 projects with clients in 23 states, with a nearly equal division among colleges and universities, corporations, and elementary-secondary schools.\u00a0 Just over half of these inventories were distributed to more than 100 U.S. nonprofits in 27 states, including Habitat for Humanity ReStores, Goodwill and St. Vincent de Paul thrift stores, furniture banks, regional and local aid organizations, halfway houses, charter and tribal schools.\u00a0 The balance were provided to eight international organizations for relief and development projects in 23 countries around the world.<\/p>\n

Globally and in the U.S., the need for usable furnishings is practically infinite.\u00a0 IRN doesn\u2019t profit when we provide furnishings to charities; they get the furnishings at no cost.\u00a0 We charge the generators to make their surplus furniture go away.\u00a0 We charge less than they\u2019d pay to call in dumpsters, with the assurance that we won\u2019t profit again from their surplus.<\/p>\n

The generator comes out ahead; IRN makes a living; and disadvantaged children and families get furniture they desperately need.\u00a0 In the end, that\u2019s what\u2019s most important.<\/p>\n
