Giving Back at a Downtown Women's Homeless Shelter

Each year the IAHSP (International Association of Home Staging Professionals) Foundation hosts Worldwide Staging Service Week in September. This was the 4th Annual nationwide event and I was privileged to be the West Los Angeles Chapter Ambassador for this year's project!

With generous donations from Brook Furniture Rental, CORT Furniture Rental and Fashion Furniture, volunteers from the our local IAHSP Chapter Staged the second floor community room and the first floor kitchen in the Residence of the Downtown Women’s Center, a nonprofit organization which provides a safe environment for homeless women through permanent, supportive housing and a healthy community fostering dignity, respect and personal stability. Last year we took on the Day Center (see original post) at DWC, where homeless women can come during the day to take a shower and a nap and have something to eat. This year's project focused on two rooms for the DWC's permanent residents.

Our volunteers completely transformed the two rooms with new furniture, art, rugs, plants and accessories. The response from the residents was so incredible. One resident was in tears as she walked into the room, saying “I thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

There is nothing like the feeling you get from giving back to a worthy cause, and I encourage all Stagers to participate in next year's event!
