DirectBuy of Providence in Warwick seeks non-profit organizations in need of furniture and fixtures

October 22, 2008 //  by admin

WARWICK, RHODE ISLAND…

There is nothing second-hand when it comes to helping someone in need and DirectBuy, the leading members-only showroom and design center, has the reputation in its communities for doing just that. To that end, DirectBuy of Providence, located in Warwick, is launching a “Nearly Perfect Non-Profit Donation Program” and seeking non-profit, 501(c)3 status, organizations in need of items such as furniture, appliances, fixtures and other household items. 

DirectBuy helps its members save enormous amounts of money by enabling them to buy direct from the manufacturer. Occasionally, those items have slight imperfections and the manufacturer prefers not to do an exchange, leaving those items with DirectBuy. DirectBuy of Providence started the “Nearly Perfect Non-Profit Donation Program” so these items can be donated to non-profit organizations with qualified needs and a 501(c)3 status. These items may include headboards, china cabinets, sofas and any number of products or furniture. 

That type of generosity is fairly standard for DirectBuy. Showroom owners nationwide donate to any number of organizations, and have shown a particular affinity for making contributions to children/family-oriented organizations like Boys & Girls Club, YMCA and children’s hospitals.

“There is something special about giving a very useful item that has been returned because of a little scratch or other slight defect to an organization that is helping others,” says Ngan Le, co-owner of DirectBuy of Providence in Warwick. “We’re looking forward to partnering with one or several non-profits in our community so we can make the ‘Nearly Perfect Non-Profit Program’ a win for everybody.”

Any non-profit organization in need of household items can simply visit DirectBuy of Providence Web site at http://www.directbuyprovidence.com/forms_documents.htm and click on the “Nearly Perfect Non-Profit Program” link.  Groups will be asked to fill out a form and provide a wish list of what is needed and whether or not they will be able to pick the items up or need to have them delivered.  In addition, the groups must provide proof of non-profit 501(c)3 status.  Submissions must be mailed to DirectBuy of Providence, 222 Metro Center Blvd Suite 2, Warwick, RI 02886, Attn: Non Profit Program

Since 1971, DirectBuy franchises have helped consumers enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products, and accessories, by providing an avenue to purchase directly from the manufacturer.

DirectBuy of Providence donates foosball table to the Boys & Girls Club of Warwick

October 16, 2008 //  by admin

WARWICK, RHODE ISLAND…

For a generation reared on video games, iPods and computers, you wouldn’t think an old school game like foosball would have an appeal with children between the ages of six and 18. Based on the reaction to DirectBuy of Providence’s donation of a brand new foosball table to the Boys & Girls Club of Warwick, the game is still a hit with today’s youth—and their parents.

Made by one of the finest foosball manufacturers, the regulation-size foosball table retails for around $600. DirectBuy of Providence Owner Heng Meas delivered the table to the Boys & Girls Club of Warwick’s Norwood branch, located at 42 Frederick Street in Warwick.  

“To us, being a member of the Warwick and greater Providence business community also means being a part of the community in general, just like our members,” said Meas. “So when we make a donation to a place like the Boys & Girls Club, we’re not only helping out a great cause, but one that probably benefits our members, their families and their friends and neighbors, and that’s always worthwhile.”

The Boys & Girls Club of Warwick is a non-profit organization that depends on the generosity and financial support of the community to help it fulfill its commitment to enriching the lives of individuals, strengthening families and building inclusive communities.  The Boys & Girls Club’s mission is provide appropriate and diversified programs and activities that serve to attract and hold area youth to the Club, providing an environment that teaches children the skills needed to build positive lives, attitudes and behaviors.

“The new foosball table has already been and will continue to be a great contribution to the Norwood branch,” said Karin Kavanagh, development director for the Boys & Girls Club of Warwick. “I’d like to thank Mr. Meas for this thoughtful gesture and generous donation, which will both draw and excite the kids.”

DirectBuy franchises across Canada and the United States are active contributors to many local non-profits and charities. Some of the more notable beneficiaries of DirectBuy’s generosity include the Boys & Girls Clubs, Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, Homes for Our Troops and Children’s Hospitals, to name a few.

Since 1971, DirectBuy has helped consumers enjoy enormous savings on home furnishings, home improvement items, entertainment and outdoor products, and accessories, by providing an avenue to purchase directly from the manufacturer.
