The United Way Perth-Huron is launching a new service that will connect non-profit agencies in need of gently used items, with people who have things to donate.
PF Solutions has put together a website where the agencies in need can post a wishlist.
And businesses and individuals can also post items they are willing to give away.
PF Solutions Manager Susan Faber says the match making service for gently used items will ensure organizations in Perth Huron have access to the things they don't have a budget to purchase.
You can find the Non-Profit Wishlist link can be found at the top right corner of perthhuronunitedway.ca.
“It’s a match making service for gently used items”, shared Susan Faber, PF Solutions Manager. “There are so many vital organizations across Perth and Huron that just don’t have the budget to purchase items that they need. Examples are filing cabinets, office chairs, humidifiers, indoor plants, fridges, microwave ovens….really any item that would make their lives easier while delivering their service.” Faber continued, “Most businesses and individuals have items they no longer use and they are more than pleased to gift that item – now they can, and it’s PF Solutions that will provide that backend logistics to this service.”
PF Solutions is a practice first program where individuals facing barriers to employment attend over a period of time to upgrade their administration skills and gain work experience
PF Solutions is a supported partner of United Way Perth-Huron and helps between 30-36 participants a year to gain employment. The new service will provide work experience to participants in web page management, logistics, customer service and project management.
