Do You Need It?
The Foundation knows a
donor with several nearly new ceiling tiles. Most
are whole 2x4 "revealed edge", "second
look" ceiling tiles.
These tiles will be most beneficial to an organization who has not
yet purchased the metal grid - so the ideal match will be an
organization with an upcoming project. I'll be glad to obtain a
sample tile and deliver it to you or anyone who would be interested.
If you locate a group who is interested, we can put them in touch
with the donor who has more information as to the number of tiles and
other more specific details.
Call me at 662.0065 if you know of a potential recipient of these
"just like new" tiles.

Do You Have It?
The Red Barn in Upland
hosts the Youth for Christ program for the Eastbrook area and is in
need of a pool table. Troy Shockey, Director of the program,
was in the office the other day and told us about their current table
and how it is literally falling apart. Maybe you have one
that you don't use anymore or you know someone that does. Youth
for Christ is an Endowment Partner at the Foundation and we like to
help our partners in any way we can. So, email or call the
Foundation at 662.0065 if you can help with this need.
(Delivery not required.)
