Receiving Services from The Green Chair Project
How to receive services
What services are provided?
The Green Chair Project seeks to provide households and families of the greater Wake County area with essential home furnishings. We accept gently used donations to create furniture packages and give it back to those who need it. These packages are built based on household size and include the following:
We also include these items with each order:
- Dish bundle – plates, bowls, silverware & more
- Pots & Pans Bundle – skillet, stockpot, baking sheet, spatulas & more
- Bath Bundle – bath towels, hand towels, shower liner & hooks, bathmat & more
Service Qualifications
Household Income: To receive services through The Green Chair Project, a household must first be at or below the 60% level of the median income for the Wake County area. You can use the chart below to find the necessary income level based on household size (for example: a household of 6 will need to be making less than $78,900)
Agency Referral
We are excited to partner with over 100 agencies within Wake County! If a household meets the income requirements, the next step to receiving services is a referral through one of these partnering agencies. A full list of our partners can be found here.
Our referrals can be found on our website here and may only be submitted by case managers and agency employees that have attended a training session with one of our Program Team members.
Fees & Payment
Furniture Package: $200
Adult Bed (Queen): $350
At this time, clients referred through the Virtual Showroom Program will have a $200 service charge associated with their furniture order; this can be paid either by the client or the referring agency. If the agency is planning to use an outside funding source, please be sure the funds are approved before the scheduled shopping appointment and communicate this with the Program Team!
Children’s beds/cribs can be added on at no additional cost and a queen bed for adults can be added for an additional $350.
Shopping & Delivery
After the referral is submitted, your referring case manager will be directed to schedule a Virtual Shopping Appointment. On the day of the scheduled appointment, you will be able to access a link to our Virtual Showroom and view the available furniture packages online.
It is important to note that delivery occurs 2 business days after the scheduled appointment (for example: clients who shop on Friday will receive delivery the following Tuesday). Please plan accordingly when scheduling the shopping appointment.
We deliver within Wake County for free and can deliver to Durham County for a $75 fee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clients
Q: How do I receive furniture?
A: Currently, we only take referrals through our community partners in Wake County. You can find a list of our partnering agencies here. If you are not connected to one of our partners, you will need to make that connection and request a referral – Green Chair staff are not able to request a referral on your behalf. For detailed instructions on received furniture services, scroll above.
Q: When can I shop for furniture?
A: When your referral is submitted, you and your case manager will be able to schedule a shopping appointment. The wait time from when a referral is submitted to the next available shopping appointment varies but is typically 1-2 weeks. After you shop and all fees are paid, your furniture will be delivered 2 business days later. For additional information, you will need to contact your case manager.
Q: Is there a cost?
A: Yes, there is a $200 service fee associated with every furniture package. Adult beds can be added on to furniture packages for an additional $350. Children’s beds and cribs can be included at no extra cost.
Q: Can someone receive services more than once?
A: The Green Chair Project is a once-in-a-lifetime agency. Please reach out to your case manager for additional resources and support within the community.
