Helping children and the enviroment NJy Camps & Kitchen Intuitons rally !
NJy Camps is a getting a new look in some of the kitchens thanks to the combined efforts of Kitchen Intuitions, KraftMaster Renovations and two Homeowners donating their old cabinetry. NJy 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 repurposed and donated to the camp.
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 identifed as potential canidates. Photo's 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 homeowner's had spend many days in the kitchen and created wonderful memories so they were delighted knowing that their kitchen wouldnt 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.
