LAS VEGAS, NV (PRWEB) September 06, 2017 -- Absolute Exhibits, a full-service exhibit design and manufacturing company, has announced that it will be constructing and donating 200 platform beds to the Houston Children’s Charity to provide aid to children displaced by hurricane Harvey.
The beds will be built at the company’s manufacturing facilities in Las Vegas, Nevada and Orlando, Florida after-hours this week and shipped to Houston on Sunday, September 10.
Absolute Exhibits is asking the Las Vegas and Orlando communities to bring new and unused toys, stuffed animals and backpacks to the company’s facilities listed below.
