Hi everyone, While your presence at the wedding is gift enough, we sincerely thank and appreciate your generosity. We see these items and our Family Fund not just as a symbol of our community's goodwill, but of starting a life, home and family together. We'd like to pay forward that gesture in a small way; in replacing our housewares with the requested gifts below, we will donate the gently used items we currently own (glassware, dishes, etc.), as well as much of the wedding decor and furnishings, to Housing Works, an organization dedicated to ending the dual crisis of homelessness and AIDS. http://www.housingworks.org/donate/ Again, thank you. Nadine and Jared
