Our “Donation and Redeployment” Program

Overview:   There are many charities in cities all over North America that would enjoy art and mirror for a multitude of applications. These charities exist in both large and small markets all over North America.

As part of the End of life succession plan, we strongly encourage the Hotel to search for “local charities that accept furniture as donations”. The hotel’s effort in arranging this donation gives back to the community along with reducing their environmental footprint. Supporting local charities is strongly encouraged and recommended by our company. 

Reusability:   

·       Reuse the art or mirror in residential or commercial spaces

·       Repurpose or resell the entire frame body (moulding, glass, mirror and mat) by replacing the art and putting in personal family photos, documents, mementos, personal artwork etc. and hanging in residential or commercial spaces
