Great Lakes Furniture Supply, with help from our customers, have partnered with Food for the Poor and donated used school furniture to communities in need in Central & South America.

“The importance of education in breaking the cycle of poverty is crucial. To this end, FFTP ships books, school supplies, furniture, computers and other needed items to schools throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. The charity solicits used school desks, furniture and other equipment from school districts in the United States when they replace these items. Such classroom necessities are then shipped to schools in need.

In the first six months of 2020, FFTP built, repaired or expanded 21 schools, and shipped 133 tractor-trailer loads of school furniture, books and educational supplies to schools, providing children with valuable tools for learning.”
