Right away Meyer went to the hospital to talk with administrators about the furniture. He felt that it was a waste tossing all that furniture into the dump when there were so many places that could make good use of it.
An arrangement was made with the administrators so that the used office furniture could be donated to non-profit groups and schools in Colorado.
