Sharing Connections proudly works directly with pre-approved social workers, family counselors, schools, and local non-profit organizations to assist families that are in need of furniture and household items.

We provide gently used furniture and household items to families struggling at the poverty level with fire, flood, job loss, domestic violence relocation and veterans suffering from war trauma by providing them with the items they cannot afford to purchase.

Does Sharing Connections sell the furniture and household items?
A:
 No. We are not open to the public nor do we sell items to the public. To promote a sense of ownership and encourage self sufficiency, we do charge a $50 access fee to use our services - regardless of the amount of items provided. This minimal charge helps us to continue to provide this service and clients work directly with their social worker or case manager in planning for payment of this fee.
Who does Sharing Connections serve?
A: We serve individuals from all over the Chicagoland area that are referred by approved agents.
What does the agent do that makes their role so important?
A:

Pre-approved referring agents take a tour of our facility to understand the role we will play in helping a family make a house a home and to fully understand how important it is to only refer those that qualify for our service. It is the role of the agent to verify household income, perform home visits, and through their professional services measure the need of the client that they directly work with prior to referring them to use our services.

What kind of furniture do you offer?
A:
 Sharing Connections provides gently used furniture and household items, such as beds, tables, chairs, and sofas. Sharing Connections also has items for babies, such as cribs, strollers, and high chairs - and also provides families with the much needed clothing items. We do not provide new furnishings.
