Ecologic Charitable Contributions & Sponsorships
At Ecologic Furniture, we strive to provide four important qualities to our customers: sustainability, durability, affordability, and great service. In addition to providing superior products and services for large and small universities and student housing facilities, we also prioritize helping those in need. Our mission is to not only provide the best furniture to our customers, but also to take time out from our daily business activities to improve the lives of those around us.
We believe that giving back to the community is a direct reflection on how we operate as a company. Basic necessities such as furniture can be expensive and difficult (or impossible) for some non-profits to purchase. It’s in these situations that we often check our inventory to see what we can do to help. We take pride in being actively involved with our community and donating furniture to help organizations like Ronald McDonald House, local shelters, and other charitable groups create comfortable environments for their guests.
A Few Ways We Are Able to Help
Our furniture is built to withstand wear and tear experienced in demanding student living facilities – a quality that’s equally valuable in other high traffic environments. A donation could be as simple as providing a chair to a charity or offering volunteers to help raise awareness for an important cause. We often have extras as our collections change from year to year and encourage local charities to contact us about meeting their specific needs. Donations can include the following furniture items:
- Seating
- Tables
- Desks
- Mattresses
- Lounge Items
The first step for any charitable donation is to contact us to explain your needs and discuss ways our company can help. If you’ve been wondering how to obtain specific furniture items, require a monetary donation, or simply need a helping hand, feel free to contact us by e-mail at info@ecologicfurniture.com or by phone at (847) 234-5855.
We encourage charities, assisted living environments, community event coordinators, and others supporting a cause to ask about a charitable contribution. By doing so, we can check our stock to provide one or multiple items for the cause. We can also volunteer for events and supply other types of donations as well. Whether you need furniture donations or just a little bit of our time, the team at Ecologic Furniture is ready for action!
