More home accent companies are getting on board with Haitian relief efforts following the earthquake that devastated the country earlier this month.
Artisan House will be donating 10% of its Maison & Objet January market sales to the Order of Malta, American Association Haitian Earthquake Relief Fund.
The association supports three major missions in Haiti. Each mission is in need of funds to provide emergency relief and medical assistance and to buy food for Haitians. The three missions in Haiti associated with the Order of Malta American Association include:
• Haitian Health Foundation
• Hôpital Sacré Coeur — Crudem
• Hope for Haiti
The Haitian Health Foundation has the facilities and the expertise to manufacture food which will be desperately needed. Hope for Haiti is organizing airlifts and busloads of critical food and medical supplies. Hôpital Sacré Coeur will be a triage connected to Operation Hope. Each of these organizations will guarantee that 100% of the monies will go toward emergency relief for those in need.
Donations will be made on orders written at market only and will be paid to the relief fund upon Artisan’s receipt of payment from customers. There is no maximum limit to Artisan’s donations. Customers will receive e-mail confirmation of donation payments from Artisan House.
Imax Worldwide Imports will donate a portion of the proceeds from a grouping of “red” products to the American Red Cross to help the people of Haiti, now through Feb. 28.
The products are on display in all Imax showrooms including the Las Vegas showroom in WMC A-429. They are currently available to authorized retailers by logging on to the Imax Web site at www.imaxcorplive.com and selecting the Red Cross category.
Cash donations are also being collected.
