Get ready to rev up the bed wheels because Flourish’s third-annual Running of the Beds race will be held from 11 a.m.-2 p.m., Saturday, May 2 right at Flourish in Grandview! Flourish is Kansas City’s only nonprofit furniture bank.

Teams of 5 will build beds on wheels in the weeks before the event, then race them on an exciting racecourse for fun prizes.

Teams are encouraged to get creative with their bed design and decoration.

Come out to watch the race, enjoy some refreshments, drop off your furniture donations, and take a tour of our new showroom! 

The event is free to attend.

Flourish is the only furniture bank in Kansas City that provides an entire home of furnishings to families overcoming housing insecurity. Our mission is simple: we collect and refurbish donated furniture and housewares, then distribute them to families through a dignified shopping appointment. Through community referrals, we equip families with furniture, beds, soft goods, and housewares to invest in their long-term success in a new home.
