Maybe you’ve heard of World Care’s disaster relief efforts throughout Arizona and the world. Less known are their other humanitarian aid programs; “Tools for Schools,” “Tools for Health,” and “Recycling for Humanity.” World Care’s reach is global, but 87% of World Care’s resources are utilized in Southern Arizona.
The Cats Day team selected World Care for the 2012 “UA Extreme Non-Profit Makeover” because of the amazing work they accomplish with limited resources. World Care operates from a former TUSD school—a 40,000 square foot warehouse on 9.7 acres of land—with only eight paid staff members (assisted by volunteers) responsible for carrying out day to day programs and continually responding to disasters.
On Saturday, March 3, 2012, hundreds of UA faculty, staff, and student volunteers will work together to transform World Care’s site. Volunteers will redesign the courtyard for community events (including the creation of a Ben’s Bells mural), modernize World Care’s emergency response center to also serve as a community meeting room, create educational signage, improve storage capacity, paint, clean, organize and run drives for World Care’s most needed items.
Fractured Earth Tile and Stone will donate all the tile material needed to create the mural. We are thrilled to be part of this worthy charity!
Welcome to the new generation of porcelain tile! The porcelain tile of today is virtually maintenance free, manufactured to replicate a wide range of natural materials and can even be specified with an anti-microbial finish. Appealing to tastes ranging from Old World to the ultra-modern….the ink jet technology used to achieve these designs is simply amazing. With as many as 82 patterns within one style before a repeat…the “stone” interpretation of porcelain is virtually undetectable.
The raw materials in many of the new porcelain tiles include both a percentage of pre and post-consumer recycled material. All of which can contribute to LEED credits!
So if you’re looking for concrete, metallic finishes, marble, limestone or even a funky fabric pattern we have it all in a maintenance-free option…PORCELAIN.
