David & Margaret Youth and Family Services in La Verne has been named winner of a 2016 IKEA Life Improvement Challenge grant from IKEA’s Covina store.

The Challenge gives IKEA US co-workers the opportunity to nominate a local charity to win an IKEA makeover of a space that helps to improve the lives of others in the local community. Co-workers and customers vote for their favorite charity, and the winner receives an IKEA makeover.

The funds will be used to make over Tarr Cottage, which is home to up to 10 adolescent girls ages 16 through 18 in foster care who are preparing to emancipate.

The cottage, built in the 1960s, is one of seven on the agency’s 18.5-acre campus. It was recently partially remodeled, and the IKEA makeover will complete its transformation by updating its furnishings and design to make it a homier, more comfortable place to live.
