FREE High Quality Furniture in GTA
Green Solutions Charitable Trust is an environmental and humanitarian organization supporting the work of other charities by making available high quality redundant corporate assets (furniture/IT/etc.). This product is procured from Fortune 1000 companies because it is no longer required.

Charities can visit our warehouse in the GTA and choose product right off the shelves and/or submit wish lists of required product.
We are also currently looking for charities that have large outreach programs and warehousing capabilities into which we can provide large quantities of product for your recipients. Product is completely free of charge to charities. Nonprofits are requested to make a donation to our charity, if possible.
We conduct work locally; nationally and internationally. Pls visit our web sites at: www.gsnai.com or www.greensolutionsfoundation.org. We can be reached at 905-829-4644. (October 8, 2009)
