If you have been keeping up with us and the Non-Profit Office Furniture Giveaway, you are probably aware of our major computer glitch which resulted in a great learning lesson for all of us at Kershaw's. It seems that our voting system was not as technologically advanced as we had hoped and passionate supporters of some of these wonderful non-profit organizations quickly figured out how to vote 1,000's of times making it difficult to get a true sampling of the community vote. We are very grateful for those of you that were able to participate in the voting process and we will be much more prepared with far more sophisticated polling software next time around.
To make things as fair as possible we invited representatives from all five organizations to lunch yesterday afternoon and did a drawing to select the winner. And the winner is........
PARTNERS WITH FAMILIES AND CHILDREN
Their mission is to prevent, interrupt and repair cycles of abuse and neglect within families. They provide a full range of services for children who have suffered abuse and/or neglect, as well as, provide mental health and chemical dependency treatment for parenting individuals and their family members,
The gift of $7000 worth of new office furniture has come at a great time for Partners because they are just a month out from an expansion into the lower level of their building. $7000.00 will provide them with a large conference table, seating for eighteen people and a few desks for offices in this space.
The other organizations did not leave empty handed. Center for Justice, New Horizon Care Centers, Life Services of Spokane and World Relief Spokane were given $500 gift certificates help purchase some Lorell furniture items.
We feel so lucky to be apart of such a wonderful community
Thanks for continued support of these organizations, Kershaw's and local business
