In 2024, A Wider Circle launched Home Reimagined as part of the nonprofit’s mission to advance equity by fostering the exchange of goods, skills and connections from neighbor to neighbor in the greater DC area. When the event takes place on May 7th this year, about 50 architecture, interior design and staging teams will furnish 50 homes and apartments for families in need throughout the region.

Designer Andrea Maaseide of Casa Millie decided to participate to combat furniture waste and address “furniture poverty.” As she explains, “What makes this experience inspiring is not just the collaboration with a talented group of designers, but the shared purpose behind it. We’re helping transform empty spaces into homes that can truly change the trajectory of a family’s life.” awidercircle.org
