NJy Camps get "Green" kitchens

Helping children and the environment NJy Camps are environmentally creative to upgrade some existing outdated gluten free kitchens at their summer camp.

Development Director Ellen Goldner contacted Bob Gockeler, Owner of Kitchen Intuitions, and inquired if they ever had cabinetry that was taken out newly remodeled kitchen that could be re-purposed and donated to the camp. 

NJy Camps is a getting a new look in some of the kitchens thanks to the combined efforts of a local kitchen showroom, KraftMaster Renovations and two Homeowners donating their old cabinetry. 

Timing is everything in life, it just so happened that two kitchens that were about to be demolished by KraftMaster Renovations for families that are doing kitchen renovations are identified as potential candidates. Photos of the existing cabinetry were sent to Ellen and to her delight they would work for the kitchens they are updating, including the gluten free kitchen. 

The homeowners had spend many days in the kitchen and created wonderful memories so they were delighted knowing that their kitchen wouldn't be rotting in a landfill. Rather its getting a second life and helping children from all over the world better enjoy their summer vacations creating more memories!

Reclaiming cabinetry requires careful removal, actually it's un-installing vs smashing during the demolition phase of a remodel. It takes quite a bit more time but the crew at KraftMaster was happy to do their part to help the cause. 

The money that the camp saved getting cabinetry donated to be used in the remodel of a camp kitchen is being used as scholarships for children to be able to attend summer camp, how awesome is that!

Thanks to these counselors for helping unload the cabinetry:

• Steven Meris
• Jay Pitchforth
• Jason Hosiassohn
• Maegan Futzgerald-Webb
