Subject: Furnish for Free

Lighten up your load and share with the public...Friday is the last day for Who's Your Brother staff members to collect furnishings for the body and the home. Then we offer our collection to the public on Saturday, from 9-2, in the big building across from the East End Food Coop. If you still want to donate then, though it's not required, we would be happy to introduce you to the concept of the Sharing Circle: bring something and feel free to take something in return. It all works, and it sure beats putting perfectly good stuff in the landfill! So come on by, either day, and meet some of your neighbors and the members and staff of "Who's Your Brother?", and take a look around... I can only hope that everybody finds at least one treasure to take home in the midst of our collection. And if this is the first you've heard of Furnish for Free, and you cannot make it this weekend, we may be able to figure out how to keep collecting treasures saved from the trash, and get them to the people want and need them.

Or, see the description below for more details. Entrance is on Thomas Blvd - follow the signs.

Be well,

Wait! Don't throw out that piece of furniture! If you have trouble giving away something for free, or you have some things that may end up on the curb to fill our landfills, please know that we at Who's Your Brother (www.whosyourbrother) will be collecting all manner of furnishings (furniture, clothing, electronics, kitchenware, etc.) for an event called Furnish for Free, where the public will be invited to come and choose what they need.  If the attendees/recipients have no money, the stuff will be free. If they can afford to make a donation of $5-10 (plus?), that will help to cover the overhead involved in holding this event. We will be collecting things on Friday September 30th from 2-7pm at 201 N. Braddock, 15208 There is a loading dock on the Thomas Blvd side of the building, and we will be there to help you unload - follow the signs. Please contact us at: FurnishforFree@gmail.com if you cannot bring the items to our location, and we will do our best to send someone to pick it/them up. Please only offer things that are in good condition and re-usable!!!  Please note: We are limiting this to donations from areas within a 10-mile range of the East End, but will hopefully hold future events in other areas around Pittsburgh, depending on the success of this first Furnish for Free. Join us, and let's put to use what is perfectly good and keep it out of our landfills!
