Global Links collection for Haiti

From now until February 15th, Construction Junction is partnering with Global Links Haiti Relief Effort as a drop-off site for gently used canes, crutches, foldable walkers and non-motorized wheelchairs. 
 
All donations will be sent by Pittsburgh-based medical relief agency Global Links to their partners in Haiti, where there is urgent need for these items due to the large numbers of patients with broken or amputated limbs.  Global Links is mobilizing to collect hundreds of these items immediately.

Items can be dropped off at Construction Junction anytime during our regular business hours.  All items donated should be clean and in good condition with no broken parts.

"Construction Junction is proud to partner with Global Links in meeting the critical need for canes, crutches, walkers and wheelchairs in Haiti,” says CJ Executive Director, Michael Gable.  “Our organizational missions are very similiar in that we both work to divert used materials and supplies and this is a wonderful opportunity for us to contribute and help others to contribute to the relief efforts to this disaster.  Everyone at CJ is eager to be a part of the effort.”

Working directly with the staff of Hopital Albert Schweitzer and a team of more than 400 physicans in Haiti, Global Links is responding to the specific needs of workers on the frontlines of this disaster through regular shipments of medical and surgical supplies, medicines and durable medical goods.  Global Links has more than 20 years experience in international medical relief and has worked in Haiti since 1996.

For more information on Global Links, call 412-361-3424 or visit www.globallinks.org.

The CJ Buzz

There's a big buzz happening in our "back forty" storage area and it's continuing to unfold everyday.  Bonnie, CJ's Donation Manager, is once again crafting our 'killer' Home & Garden Show booth.  Here's a sneak peek, but be sure to come to the show to see Bonnie's final masterpiece.  The show runs from March 5 - 14, 2009.

Also, thanks to CJ staff member, Michael Benedetti for his photographic contributions to this weeks e-Blast.

CJ Q&A

Do you have any pictures of the stained glass windows that you currently have in stock?  I am looking for something large... like 3'x5' and especially something with an arched top.  -- Lola

Lola --  We don't get stained glass windows very often but when we do we always include photos of them in our weekly e-Blast so be sure to watch for your Blast in your inbox.  We'll make an extra effort next week to re-blast photos of any stained glass windows we currently have on hand.  -- Cozmo
