Great idea to share.

BTW, you are going to be in my post for tomorrow.

Oh, and sorry I haven't called. I'm swamped. Let's talk later next week. I need to get caught up on my estimates - I'll be working all day and night tomorrow.

What a great thing to do, share furniture with those who need it! I should try to do this in my area.

Hi Debbie - Loved your posts on rain camp! I will be working on TAXES the next couple of days. WIth the robbery and all the issues it created I'm going to have to apply for an extension. So many systems were on autopay it was a nightmare and sadly - I had a folder of receipts I was planning to copy for taxes in my bag that day...the bag that is still being held as evidence...The fallout continues....

Hi Navona - Its quite an operation because you have to store it for families when they need it. The storage was a huge issue. They have a major facility at Westchester County Airport. Its like the size of a hanger!

Ruthmarie - that sounds like a fantastic idea. I'm going to have to check my area. I have a few pieces sitting the storage room collecting dust. Thanks for the tip.

Hi Barbara, It's a terrific idea. The storage needed to support the furniture drives was a huge stumbling block to effectively do this sort of thing in an organized manner. But thanks to the efforts of Kate Bialo this stumbling block has been removed.

Hi Juli, I hope you find something similar. If someone is adventurous and wants to start something - chekc out the web site. The model might help someone do the same thing where you are.
