Celebrating Our Partners: Joe and Jan Valendy

Local partnerships make Furnishing Families thrive! Meet Joe and Jan Valendy. They facilitate “Once And Done Estate Sales” throughout Dallas and Fort Worth. Our next door neighbors in the industrial park, Ray and Elizabeth Carter, introduced them to us. Joe and Jan have connected us with gorgeous furniture and household items that have been used for home transformations and Annabelle’s Treasures Pop Ups. 

This October, they invited us to a local sales event at the Lion’s Den for the Keller Lion’s Club’s. Families and local organizations set up tables of various household and collectible items, art, toys, and more for sale. They graciously provided FFOT a prominent station at the entrance. There, we had a couple tables and a booth display of a complete twin bedroom set. Hundreds of families came through the venue!

The team gathered 5 pages of local family contacts that were acquired in a raffle giveaway for the whole bedroom set! HURRAY FOR LIST BUILDING! This also provided a unique opportunity to notify local families that in-kind donations can be picked up directly from a home! This is a win/win, because supply has become a bigger need lately. 

Thank you to Joe and Jan for keeping Furnishing Families at the front of the line for unsold estate sale items. Your generosity has met many of our missing piece furnishing needs for home transformations. For any estate sale needs in DFW, you can contact them at jvalendy@gmail.com.
