The drive started on Tuesday in the llama barn at the fairgrounds.
The Missoula Housing Authority found homes for more than half the residents of the 41 units damaged by arson last month.
MHA officials said now those residents need furniture, especially beds.

The drive starts up again Wednesday morning at 8 AM through 10 AM. Any furniture is accepted.
