Please make sure your donations are in good condition, “guest room ready”. We have partnered with DTE to build out an expansion manual and standardize a very well oiled system. If we don’t keep to our schedule, it doesn’t work. We have two movers, a warehouse manager, six designers and office staff, but we count on our volunteers to help our warehouse stay organized. We also count on corporations to adopt the houses and send their employees down for a day of service. They clean and decorate the home and get to watch the moment when the family comes home.
TOWNHOME SPONSOR LEVEL: $7,500
Feel free to bring lightly-used items to donate or monetary contributions to help families in need. Please RSVP so we can be sure to have enough food and beverage for all.

The children were sleeping on piles of blankets. Treger and her friend Ana started collecting items to furnish the home. They called their friends, neighbors, people they didn’t know asking for beds, linens, furniture, and kitchen items. So Treger called nine different shelters and said that they had all this stuff, and that they wanted the donations to go directly to families who are in need,” Dickinson shares.

The proceeds will go directly to Humble Design's expanded mission during the COVID-19 crisis. A week before, the process began when a designer volunteering for the nonprofit met the family to ask what they wanted for their home. They needed pretty much everything, Purnell said. Humble Design Chicago is celebrating this milestone with a special home "deco" and reveal on Aug. 27.
Since its inception in 2009, Humble has turned almost 900 empty houses into clean, dignified and welcoming homes — a simple but powerful idea. I was born in Columbus, Ohio, and raised in San Diego. I grew up in a household where it was extremely important to get a good education and to choose a field where you could succeed in life. When I told my parents I wanted to be an artist, they double-gulped but, ultimately, got behind the idea and sent me to art programs. My parents also instilled in me the value of giving back — always emphasizing the importance of having empathy — walking in other people’s shoes.
On Monday, Humble Design made a delivery to aid Connections for Abused Women and their Children (CAWC). The shelter is operating with 35 beds to follow COVID-19 isolation guidelines, but remains in need of donations – most notably kitchen supplies. But the first-grader couldn’t help herself.

The operation has already gained the support of city officials and Chicago-based CB2, the official corporate sponsor of Humble Design Chicago. Together with Humble Design, CB2 has pledged to sponsor 20 homes in the next year. Where do you like to shop or local designers you support?
U-Haul signed on as the primary sponsor in 2016, offering the equipment, storage and national infrastructure to make expansion possible and targeted Chicago as the first expansion city in January 2017. CB2 came on day one as Humble Design Chicago’s city sponsor. In 2018 locations were opened in Seattle and San Diego, with a location in Cleveland in 2019, sponsored by Progressive Insurance. We change lives and communities by custom designing and fully furnishing home interiors for individuals, families and veterans emerging from homelessness. Sponsored by Ben Cohen of Guaranteed Rate, Humble Design will be collecting your donations. Bring your lightly used lamps, side tables, books, toys, rugs, tables, garbage cans, dressers, blenders, microwaves to fill our two U-Haul trucks.
Restoring hope and dignity has a life-changing impact both for the people we help and the volunteers who make it possible. Humble Design impacts families and the environment, as well as our community of volunteers. A house isn’t a home without a warm bed and a placeto gather with family. Humble Design sets families on a course towards a bright and hopeful future.
ModMart for furniture, SHE stores, Intermix and Caruso Caruso for me and John Varvatos for Rob. I feel so lucky to be able to work with my husband on Humble Design, including our recent national expansion. I am also grateful for my staff of 16 employees who work hard to make Humble Design successful every day.
Houses are equipped several times a week, and volunteers are given the address of their assignments the day before. The families arrive in the afternoon and volunteers have the pleasure of welcoming them to their newly transformed homes. A variety of companies have teamed up with Humble Design, with CB2 serving as their city sponsor with funds and goods. Aldi also provides goods; Casper donates linens, pillows, and mattresses; Article supplies furniture; and blankets are provided by Betsy’s Blankets, along with sheets and comforters. RIT DYE partners with the nonprofit to transform white Casper duvet covers into something more vibrant and cheerful. Entering housing is an important step in the journey out of homelessness, but not enough to solve the problem.
We are working on our newest site in Dearborn, which will service veterans exclusively. Recently, a Microsoft employee held a fundraiser which provided us funding to expand to Seattle as well.

She found a house she could afford, but there was nothing left over in the budget to furnish it. The children were making nests on the floor where they were going to sleep. I cried my eyes out on my way to picking up my children from day care thinking about those kids sleeping on the floor that night while I was tucking my children into their big beautiful beds.
