for Education
Thanks to area
schools and colleges, The Niagara Warehouse of Hope collects surplus
desks, tables, chairs, blackboards, computers, printers, books and
administrative equipment and supplies for shipment to schools in
the developing world. In some cases construction equipment and materials
have helped build complete schools. The 40-foot containers of supplies
are enthusiastically welcomed by teachers and young students who
previously learned their lessons sitting on rough wooden planks,
and working with crude chalkboards held on their laps.

schools in Haiti are assisted with used equipment and furnishings
collected and shipped to them by the Niagara Warehouse of Hope.
