Sustainable Surplus raised over $4500 at its Christmas in
July event on Saturday, July 18. The
event was an open house, inviting local teachers, nonprofit staff, and small
businesses to enjoy incredible savings on much-needed assets for their
organizations.
“It was a twofold celebration,” said SSE executive director
Sue Prelozni, “of our new alliance with the US Small Business Administration (SBA)
and our new collaboration with the San Diego Futures Foundation (SDFF).
SBA lead economic development specialist, Rosa Rodarte, was on hand to engage
with the start-up and small businesses regarding the guidance and support
available to help them to succeed in their mission.
The SDFF team had a kiosk of IT equipment, with refurbished computer
systems priced very affordably at only $120.
Gary Knight, SDFF executive director, answered many questions about their
STEM educational assistance accessible to all organizations.
“What a great service you provide,” was the declaration of a
patron of local nonprofit Petra House. It was the recurring theme of the day.
