Since 2019, we have furnished homes for 250 families. Hear from them about the impact of this work - and the difference between a house and a HOME.
This incredible impact is only possible with support from our community. Whether you make a donation, sign up to volunteer, or simply share this video, you can make a difference in the lives of your neighbors who need support.
Check out our updated warehouse hours - now featuring evening and weekend opportunities to make a difference with DIGS!

A home is more than four walls.
It’s stability. It’s peace of mind.
This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re reminded:
Mental health matters – and a home makes a difference.

Second chances matter, especially for the things we throw away.
Right here in Chicago, we turn furniture into homes filled with dignity and hope for families starting over.

What if the furniture we throw away could become someone else’s fresh start?
Each year, millions of tons of furniture are discarded - most of it ending up in landfills.
At DIGS, we give those pieces a second life… transforming them into thoughtfully designed homes for families transitioning out of homelessness.
Sustainable. Dignified. Impactful.
Join us and be part of the solution.
