NW Furniture Bank has costs associated with getting mattresses now and the total of everything goes up pretty quickly. If anyone needs a referral to NWFB though that is something I can do with folks. Sometimes there can be resources through families who have McKinney Vento status where the district is able to pick up some or all of the cost for things like this though.

 

I also do see posts on the local Buy Nothing and neighborhood Facebook groups pretty regularly with people who are giving away used mattresses but your mileage may vary there.

Asking on behalf of our Resource Navigators, does anyone have a source for free mattresses?
