Community Warehouse, a nonprofit that provides essential furniture for individuals and families in need, has opened a new Tigard facility to house its donations of clean and gently used items.
On Sept. 3, Community Warehouse opened in an expansive space at 9806 S.W. Tigard St. with the Tigard Chamber of Commerce hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Sept. 19.
