“Thank you to Columbia University for helping us foster a more positive and intimate environment with the bean bag chairs which we use in our offices to have one-on-ones with the youth,” said Al Cohen, Executive Director of The Community Initiatives. “The bikes have also been a big hit, helping individuals who are looking for jobs that require bikes and those who needed a means of transportation.”
The Columbia ReUse Program minimizes waste by diverting reusable items to local non-profit organizations, facilitating the exchange or donation of University-owned furniture and other items.
