How The Rug Gallery is Helping Families in Need
At The Rug Gallery, we believe that a simple floor covering can do more than just protect hardwood—it can be the foundation of hope, comfort, and a new beginning.
More Than Just a Rug
When New Life Furniture Bank, a remarkable organization that has furnished over 2,227 homes and diverted nearly 1,000 tons of waste in 2024 alone, reached out to us to help a family in need, we were honored to contribute.
With the expert guidance of interior designer Julie Anne Baur from Winding Lane Interiors, we carefully selected rugs to elevate Jane’s space. Our team understands the power of design to transform lives, and we’re proud to be part of this heartwarming initiative.
“Dave’s install was really cool,” the young mother shared. “The Rug Gallery provided a few rugs to help tie everything together.”
The Art of Transformation
Our team went beyond simply donating rugs. We carefully selected pieces that would bring warmth, color, and personality to the space. As one of our team members explained:
“Julane Bower picked out some patterns and colors and sent over some photos. I went through our stock and figured out exactly what would flow with the rest of the draperies.”
More Than Decoration—A Sense of Home
For this young mother, who had been living through incredibly challenging times—facing eviction while pregnant and spending months with her premature son in the NICU—our rugs became more than just floor coverings. They were a symbol of hope.
“I love how the carpet brings out the curtains and the flowers,” she said, her voice filled with emotion. “Everything just looks so perfect.”
Our Commitment to Community
At The Rug Gallery, we’ve always believed that our role extends beyond selling floor coverings. We’re about creating spaces that tell stories, that provide comfort, and that help families rebuild.
“Anything we can do to make our community stronger together is core to our values,” one of our team members shared.
How You Can Help Weave Hope
This holiday season, you can be part of transforming lives. New Life Furniture Bank is striving to furnish 2,500 homes by year-end, and they need your continued support to get there. The need is urgent, as families move out of shelters and into permanent housing—seeking stability and comfort, especially during the holiday season.
You can make a difference. By making a year-end gift today, you’ll help ensure that every family has the furnishings they need to create a place to call home.
Every rug has a story. Help us write more stories of hope.
