Home Sweet Home

For me the holidays mean pulling out boxes to switch out cherished holiday decorations. In fact, those extra touches make our house a "home". For many, home ownership seems out of reach. Our company has been both a sponsor, fundraiser, donor and branded provider for Habitat for Humanity. 

The Wake County chapter has made amazing strides to put record numbers of local families in homes. Nationally our suppliers are showcasing their heart for organizations by offering a percentage of proceeds to help. Our fresh food partner, Maple Ridge, has some products decided to Habitat for Humanity in their hometown. By working together in our communities we can solve challenges together. 

If you are not already invested in the communities that you serve, consider aligning your brand with efforts that give back to others this season. Simple ways to help a non profit- defray costs are to volunteer or take up a collection of goods on their shopping list or monetary donations from employees or patrons; matching that investment. 

We've helped a variety of organizations in the community over the years with donations of products, services and dollars. Today I shared a post on my LinkedIn and personal Facebook page to an article suggesting that volunteering reduces your stress level. Looks like I was having fun to me- you be the judge!
