Remembering Alabama

I should probably be filling everyone in on the marvels of the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in Vegas, but as you've probably heard, it was a rough week at home in Alabama. 


The Cupboards family was immeasurably blessed and spared any damage or worse at both the shop and all of our homes. Sadly, many of our neighbors in Alabama were not. 

If you would like to help with the relief effort, there are a few ways to do so:

  1. American Red Cross - To donate to the Red Cross(1-800-RED-CROSS) you can visit their online donation page or simply text message "REDCROSS" at 90999 to make a $10 donation.
  2. The Salvation Army - Visit their donation page and designate your donation to "April 2011 Tornado Outbreak" or text "GIVE" to 80888 to donate $10.
  3. Feeding America - Donations can be made to their online donation page.
If you happen to be near an area that was effected and can help with nonperishable foods, baby and hygiene items, there are lots of churches and community organizations with drop-off points all over the state.

Any help will be graciously and thankfully received. It is truly times like these to see the American and neighborly spirit we all hope still exists in full effect.
