LANCASTER, PA - Earlier this year, the Casual Comfort manufacturing facility near Lancaster, Pa., was destroyed 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 furnishings business,” wrote Jaclyn C. Hirschhaut, executive director, International Casual Furnishings Association.
Paul and Mary Maki, ICFA retailer owners of Porch Concepts in Wilmington, N.C., launched a Go Fund Me campaign to help support their fellow ICFA supplier. See link below.

“At a time when we all are challenged by 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,” adds Hirschault. “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.”
