"We will guide you through the entire process from design to delivery." said Jordan Walz, Operations Director of Anything Wood & Metal.

When the coronavirus was infected, the store wanted to help, and virtual learning inspired an idea.

"We are not very suitable for providing help in the healthcare industry, but once we realize that virtual learning will become the status quo and need desks, we will definitely feel that this is the area we can do to help." Walz said.

They started to build desks and worked with organizations to provide them to students in need.

They are engaged in donation work. They are holding an event outside the workshop on Union Avenue. Every time a large table or table is purchased, a student desk will be donated. If you don’t need new furniture, just buy a smaller desk and donate it.

Walz said: "We will distribute them to students who do not have a dedicated work area at home."

The "Buy One Get One Free" event will be held from 10 am to 4 pm on October 24.

"This is outdoors and social distance is far. We do require people to wear masks." Walz said.
