By Home Furnishings Business in Furniture Retailing on November 2008 Star Furniture and The Furniture Bank of Houston are working together to support victims of Hurricane Ike, the Greater Houston Weekly reported Monday.

Star will collect furniture donations at its six Houston-area locations for distribution to affected families through The Furniture Bank, which will work with local human service agencies and charities.

“We are happy to do whatever we can to help our community,” Star Furniture Advertising Director Mike Galloway said in the report. “Having been in Houston since 1912, we’re all family in that regard.”

Hurricane victims especially need beds, dining room tables with chairs, and dressers, said Ali Mohammed, founder and executive director of The Furniture Bank.
