By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, May 7, 2007
High Point — The National Furniture Bank Assn. has appointed Kathy Parks, executive director of the International Home Furnishings Representatives Assn., to its board of directors.
She has been on the advisory board of the NFBA for 18 months and has chaired its sponsorship subcommittee, charged with increasing industry support of the organization, which supports furniture banks across the country.
Furniture banks collect used home furnishings from the public, then donate the goods to needy people such as survivors of natural disasters, women and children escaping domestic violence, and families living below the poverty line.
"I am excited to serve on the NFBA board of directors," said Parks. "There are many charities which our industry supports, but the NFBA helps tens of thousands of people in need every year, and directly benefits our industry."
