In this week’s episode of the PrevenTable, Jenny sits down with Betsy Reznicek, Founder and Executive Director of Home Sweet Home, a nonprofit working to close the furniture poverty gap by providing essential household furnishings to individuals and families in need.

Access to necessities can make a lasting difference in a person’s life —stability, dignity, and a foundation for families to build a brighter future. Yet, for many, poverty-created barriers can extend across generations, limiting access to resources and opportunities for years to come. Prevention means looking at the bigger picture and addressing barriers of all kinds. This helps strengthen families, and by connecting people with the resources they need to thrive, we can break cycles of generational poverty and build healthier communities. Partnerships like the one forged between PreventEd and Home Sweet Home help recognize that meaningful change starts with meeting people where they are and creating opportunities for individuals and families to thrive.
