Aurora

Aurora Glass has it all.  They use old windows and other glass that is difficult to recycle, and craft it into a beautiful variety of tiles, sun-catchers, jewelry, and accesories.  This would be pretty cool in and of itself, but it doesn’t stop there.  As a division of St. Vincent De Paul, 100% of the profits from Aurora Glass are tilled back into the community in the form of job training, low income family assitance, housing, etc.  The profits from Aurora Glass add a really great financial sustainability element to help fulfill the mission of this non-profit organization.  I think it is a great example of truly sustainable community development, involving elements of reclaiming resources, providing employment, and providing funding for a charitable cause.  And for you builders and developers out there, they have a growing selection of architectural accents such as tiles and drawer pulls, in addition to custom glass, that will add a unique element to your projects.  Check out their website to learn more, and keep your eyes open for Aurora products.  strategic recycling initiative for a healthier community.  We manufacture our popular line of products for wholesale and retail sale, as well as creating custom works large and small.  All profits from Aurora are returned to the community in the form of assistance for homeless and low-income people through emergency services, housing, jobs, training, and other charitable endeavors.
