Small Amish Business Lost Everything In Fire

Earlier this year, the Casual Comfort manufacturing facility near Lancaster, Pennsylvania, was completely lost in a devastating fire, including materials and equipment. And while the tightly-knit Amish community quickly banded together to rebuild and get the operation back up and running, you can only imagine the high expense to reestablish the outdoor poly furniture business. This manufacturer helps keep plastic out of landfills by using recycled milk jugs for their furniture.

Porch Concepts in Wilmington, N.C., launched a Go Fund Me campaign to help support their fellow peers and furniture manufacturers. 

At a time when we all are challenged with the burdens of the Covid-19 pandemic on our families as well as our business colleagues and taking time this week to count our blessings, I invite you to consider making a donation to this worthy cause and help one of our own. This is, unquestionably, a perfect case for “every little bit counts,” and I reassure you that no amount is too small. Indeed, Small Business Saturday is scheduled this weekend and your contribution will go a long way to helping the Glick family help support their employees.


I very much appreciate your thoughtfulness, and hope that you and yours enjoy a lovely Thanksgiving weekend.


Warmest regards,

Mary Maki
