Q: What is a Collaborating Partner Agency (CPA)?
A: A Collaborating Partner Agency is a non-profit community service organization, church, or civic club that regularly comes into contact with and recommends families and individuals who are in need of furniture items to Furniture For Families. These agencies sign an annual contract and pay a nominal $100 fee which enables them to qualify and refer an unlimited number of clients for FFF services. See our CPA Roster with contact information under the Contact Us tab.
Q: Do you pick-up and deliver furniture?
A: We pick-up and deliver furniture on a limited basis and time schedule in the area served by the Killeen Ashley Furniture HomeStore. If adequate transportation is available, personal drop-off and pick-up times can be scheduled by contacting our Executive Director.

Q: What furniture can a family expect to receive when they apply?
A: FFF's goal is to provide basic pieces to help get families started in their new homes and to provide basic comforts. Our primary focus is to help families receive something to eat on, sleep on and sit on.
