fresh stART:
DIG’s annual fundraiser

we all deserve a fresh start.

There’s something truly special about transforming a worn, tired piece of furniture into a stunning work of art—giving it a second chance at a new life. It’s a perfect reflection of the restoration that furniture and household essentials bring to families who have faced unimaginable challenges.

Fresh StART, DIG’s annual fundraising event, offers a unique opportunity to bring a piece of DIG into your own home—a lasting reminder of the life-changing power of second chances and a strong, supportive community. Together, we can restore dignity, one home at a time.
