Huntington National Bank’s local HQ move to the former BP
Building at 200 Public Square has created a great opportunity for area
nonprofits in need of office furnishings.
The Bank is preparing to give away thousands of pieces of
office furnishings including desks, credenzas, chairs, tables, file cabinets,
fireproof files, book cases and hundreds of other miscellaneous items.
The giveaway will be held on the first two Thursdays in
November — Nov. 3 and Nov. 10 — at Commercial Works furniture
showroom/warehouse located at 4901 Johnson Parkway in Garfield Heights.
This opportunity is for registered nonprofits only.
Interested parties should email Diane Downing at the Bank and copy Sharon Sills. Nonprofits
will need to include contact info [address, phone, email] and verification of
their nonprofit status.
The Bank is giving away the goods but delivery is not
included, so beneficiaries will need to plan for pick up. Help with loading
will be available for those that come with transportation. Quotes for delivery
service can be arranged at the site.
Questions? Tony Gugliemotto of Commercial Works is the

Let your favorite executive director, pastor, and board
members know about this opportunity. Let us know how it works out for them. And
be sure to tell them where you learned about this real deal!

While we are on the
subject of nonprofits, one of our favorites is the Northeast Ohio Alliance for
Hope, and not just because they retained us to develop a community/agency
newsletter for them.
NOAH and its executive director Trevelle Harp are doing
outstanding work in the city of East Cleveland and beyond. They played an
instrumental role in the two best success stories East Cleveland has had this century: a negotiated agreement with the Cleveland Clinic valued at $25 million,
and involving the Cuyahoga Land Bank to help address the East Cleveland's
abandoned property issues. The county land bank was a linchpin to the recently
announced deal to build new housing at the city's new gateway on Euclid Avenue
at Lakeview Road.
NOAH's annual banquet
is tomorrow at the McGregor Home, 14900 Private Dr., East Cleveland.
State Senator Nina Turner is the featured speaker. The dinner is NOAH's annual
fundraiser, a bargain at $35. The evening starts at 6PM. Call Deirdre at
216.834.2324 for tickets.
