Bucks County Donates 21 Surplus Items to Lenape Valley Foundation
In an effort to continue fulfilling non-profit “Wish Lists” with items from the Bucks County General Services Division surplus list, county Asset Manager Pete McElroy presented 21 “as is” pieces of equipment to the Doylestown-based Lenape Valley Foundation (LVF) this morning. Joining McElroy to accept the items – which included 10 computer units, three wooden game tables, three heavy-duty cloth chairs and a piano – were LVF Community Relations Director Regina Widdows and Community Relations Coordinator Stacey Mulholland.
The assignment of items was the second of its kind in the last two weeks. On January 30, the Morrisville Senior Center took possession of 13 items, which included desks, file cabinets and a metal coat rack.
“We are pleased to be able to help fulfill some of the needs of our many non-profit agencies throughout the county,” McElroy noted. “These donations represent a ‘win-win’ situation for county government and for the residents who rely on the participating agencies.”
Piano donated to the Lenape Valley Foundation.Commissioner Chairman Charles H. Martin reiterated that the county will “continue to poll our non-profits to determine their need for charitable giving, outside the realm of money.”
Lenape Valley Foundation programs combined to serve more than 9,000 individuals last year. LVF is a mental health, mental retardation and early intervention service provider. For more information about LVF, please visit its Web site, www.lenapevf.org.
