Actresses-turned-designers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, seen here shopping in West Hollywood yesterday, have announced they are endorsing Help1Up, the home furnishings industry’s used furniture removal service.
Through a network of furniture banks, and facilitated by the non-profit National Furniture Bank Assn., the Help1Up service collects gently used furniture from the public and provides it to families in need. Typical recipients are victims of natural disasters, women and children escaping domestic violence and working families living below the poverty line.
“Ashley and I are happy to endorse Help1Up,” said Mary-Kate Olsen. “There’s no reason why usable furniture should be thrown away when it can instead provide a family in need with basic comfort and dignity.”
The sisters' mary-kateandashley brand has a home furnishings collection in partnership with A.P. Inds.
