The CJ Buzz

Now that the Big Pour is over, we're back 100% in the reuse saddle.  Here are a few things we have in the works:

  • We're continuing our work with Braddock Hospital and expect to be there until mid October.  Naturally, we're bringing back lots of good stuff from this project.
  • We have 500 gallons of paint on the horizon and will keep you posted as to the expected delivery date.
  • We now have a much expanded office section.  It's not fully stocked as of yet but we're slowly but surely populating it with goodies.
  • Look for an announcement next week about an upcoming office equipment sale that will benefit another Pittsburgh nonprofit, the Storehouse for Teachers.
