🪑 Operation Storefront

Turning Empty Spaces into Homes

Operation Storefront is an initiative of The Esther Project, Inc., providing gently used hotel and residential furniture to women transitioning out of homelessness. Through community donations and volunteer support, we help create furnished, welcoming homes for women rebuilding their lives.

We are giving away Christmas Bundles of Love to newly housed women who have recently transitioned to home after a journey of homelessness. People can give by dropping off at the South East Area Coalition 1255 University Ave. Rochester, NY Drop off your donations
