Everyone is currently feeling the effects of Covid19 and the homeless community is no different. Bridgehouse had to make immediate changes to their model to create more physical space between people at their shelters, in order to comply with the CDC’s social distancing and hygiene requirements. They’ve partnered with the city to open the CRC (Covid Recovery Center) at East Boulder Rec Center, to help identify and isolate those of the homeless population showing symptoms. Bridge house expects to see a reduction in financial support from their social enterprises and donations with an increase in need across this population. Supporting their social enterprises including the Community Table Kitchen is one way to get involved and show your support. You can order nutritious family sized meals for pick up or delivery at: boulderbridgehouse.org.

\n\n

Volunteering is more important now than ever, not only for BridgeHouse and your other favorite non-profits, but also for your own community connection.

","summary":"Pear Project Services (PPS) helps businesses solve office furniture problems. The PPS team, led by Kathey Pear, brings creativity to the complex and often messy commercial move process. We are passionate about keeping reusable office furniture from being dumped into a landfill simply because there are no good alternatives.\r\n\r\n PPS does not have “not-for-profit” status. We call ourselves an NJFP, “Not Just for Profit”, organization. The revenue stream that we generate from facilities decommissioning and product resale must cover the cost of our labor, vehicles, warehouse facility rental, and other expenses. While our primary goal is to help businesses solve logistics problems and keep furniture in circulation, without a revenue stream we would not be able to keep our doors open or provide our clients with a way to “Save the Furniture”. \r\n\r\nWe take no-longer-needed or excess furniture from larger companies and re-home as much as possible with not-for-profit groups, start-ups, and smaller companies that need good used furniture. Every project presents a unique combination of reusable products for us to donate, resell, recycle, and repurpose. \r\n\r\nCreativity and the sincere desire to “Save The Furniture” is our secret sauce. \r\n\r\n We are proud to report that only a small percentage of the furniture we handle ever ends up in a landfill.","date_published":"2020-03-31T00:00:00.000-06:00","attachments":[{"url":"https://aphid.fireside.fm/d/1437767933/a3ad3e9b-89c4-4560-83b8-2d8c657dd0b2/50c7b6b9-b7c5-4845-91ad-84a9719c64f0.mp3","mime_type":"audio/mpeg","size_in_bytes":77962970,"duration_in_seconds":1949}]},{"id":"8ccaeeca-543a-4973-893d-27f350fcb1b9","title":"Market Meets: Dan Garfinkel with Finkel and Garf","url":"https://marketmeetspodcast.fireside.fm/finkleandgarfbrewery","content_text":"The process of selecting and drinking a beer shouldn’t be complicated, confusing, or too serious.\n\nBeer should be straightforward in presentation, consistent in flavor and quality, and balanced.\n\nBeer shouldn’t be the center of attention, but rather a facilitator of unforgettable moments.Special Guest: Dan Garfinkel.","content_html":"
