DWR raises funds for Haitian earthquake victims

By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, January 18, 2010

SAN FRANCISCO —

Home furnishings retailer Design Within Reach says it will match up to $25,000 in donations to UNICEF's Haiti Earthquake Fund, for a collective total donation of $50,000.

To participate, customers should visit the DWR website, www.dwr.com, where they will be directed to a link to make a donation.

In coordination with other UN agencies, UNICEF will provide supplies to allow access to sanitation, safe water and basic health care in Haiti. The agency also is preparing materials and staff so that children, vulnerable during natural catastrophes, are protected.

“While our company's name is Design Within Reach, today we are proud to provide help within reach to the people of Haiti,” said John Edelman, CEO. “I am equally proud of the support of our customers and employees in joining me in providing assistance. Our hearts and thoughts are with the people of Haiti.”
