Digs with Dignity is a local nonprofit on a mission to break the cycle of homelessness in Chicago. Every week, the DIGS team uses donated furniture and housewares to custom furnish a home for a family transitioning out of homelessness. Since 2019, Digs with Dignity has furnished homes for more than 225 families and upcycled 235,000+ pounds of furniture in the process. Visit digswithdignity.org to learn more and get involved.
