Lost something on a plane? It may end up helping someone in need

We’re providing a second life to items it I mean we you know we’re there are three big buckets of of of the items that come through you know about a third we’ll sell through one of our selling channels and about a third we will we have some some pretty big international charity groups that that we we donate things to. So about a third get donated and they go really all over the world and then a third gets we get recycled and and kind of playing into the to the whole world of of sustainability and let me give you an example like on the charitable work we oftentimes assistive devices like wheelchairs those will get damaged because you know they they don’t stack neatly in in an airplane and and like you you can stack suitcases or boxes or whatever. And and so we get a fair amount of damaged wheelchairs that come in and there is a there’s a a a group called wheels wheels for the world and we we done it all of our wheelchairs to them but especially the broken wheelchairs to to them and and then there’s a couple of prisons that they they take these broken wheelchairs into and the the prisoners will work on them and and repair them and and then make a a totally functional workable wheelchair and and then those things get shipped around the world for for disabled people and we do all that we have a foundation called reclaim for good and it’s it’s one of the great joys that that that we have being able to to do things like that and and it’s it certainly animates me and and and our family but our our team members as well we’re we’re the largest donator of eyeglasses to the Lions Club international that they they have their the Lions Club their big charity is is it’s called site 1st I believe and we’ve done it well over a million pair of glasses to to to the Lions Club and and they’ll most of those things are going into to impoverished places in the countries around the world. But even things like sunglasses, we get a ton of sunglasses and we’ll ship 10s of thousands of of pairs of of sunglasses to to the Lions Club because they’ll take them to countries that are, that are on the equator where you have agricultural workers, people are outside and you can’t afford sunglasses. And if if you know I mean sunglasses can prevent you from having cat getting cataracts and and and saving your eyesight.
