The San Diego chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers<\/a> (ASID) is hosting a donation drive for Humble Design<\/a>, a nonprofit that serves families and veterans emerging from homelessness by transforming an empty house or apartment into a fully furnished home.<\/p>\n

The one-day event will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sept. 7 at Blythe Interiors, 9445 Farnham St., Suite 102 in Kearny Mesa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking for contributions of new or gently used furniture suitable for small apartments, home goods and gift cards to major retailers,\u201d said Shannon Rice, ASID liaison to Humble Design. \u201cWe also welcome cash contributions, which will be used to help support ASID\u2019s \u2018Day of Joy,\u2019 creating a home for a Humble Design client this October.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will have volunteers to help unload the vehicles, and donors are invited to stay for complimentary doughnuts,\u201d she said, adding that a list of the most-needed items<\/a> is available on the Humble Design San Diego website under \u201cTake Action.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to Blythe Interiors, which is providing space for the collection event, corporate sponsors for this event include Design Logistics and the Yost-Quesada team at Douglas Elliman.<\/p>\n

Humble Design has furnished more than 11,000 homes across five cities since its founding in Detroit in 2009. It has served clients locally since 2018, helping more than 1,500 San Diegans \u2014 including more than 800 children \u2014 to begin the next hopeful chapter of their lives. Humble Design San Diego recently completed its 500th \u00a0home for a local family, according to Laura Lavoie, executive director of Humble Design San Diego.<\/p>\n

A recent study by The Homelessness Hub, an applied research center at UC San Diego, found Humble Design effective in empowering people to break the cycle of homelessness.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout receiving the services of Humble Design, more than 25 percent of San Diegans who exit homelessness and obtain stable housing return to homelessness within two years,\u201d said Lavoie. \u201cWith Humble Design, less than 2 percent do. We help 98 percent of families stay in their new homes with dignity and love,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The local ASID chapter has an ongoing relationship with Humble Design.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we learned about Humble Design\u2019s mission a few years ago, we knew that there was a natural affinity between our two nonprofit organizations,\u201d said Rice, former president of the San Diego chapter of ASID. \u201cASID believes \u2018design impacts lives,\u2019\u201d said Rice. \u201cUsing our professional skills to create beautiful, dignified homes for formerly homeless families and individuals is the ultimate impact,\u201d she said, noting that ASID San Diego will collaborate with Humble Design on its fourth annual design project this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur successful collaboration resulted in national recognition in the ASID 2025 National Awards,\u201d added Rice. \u201cHumble Design was honored with the Community Impact of the Year Award, recognizing \u2018the transformative impact of design.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
