Meet Our 2023 Friendly Furniture Flippers
Brand new for 2023 — Help support them as they raise money for a great cause!
Our Friendly Furniture Flipper Challenge is here! These local business-owner artisans are transforming furniture ‘wrecks’ into furniture heirlooms for your bidding pleasure. Each piece they bring back to life will be live-auctioned to the highest bidder present at our Annual Auction April 29! Every dollar they raise stays right here in our local community, helping Friend, Inc. make Northeastern Berks a better place for all.
