David's Abbey Carpet employee charity
fund was derived from our employee's wanting
to give back to the communities that provide
for us, simply to be a good neighbor. The
fund began in 1998 and has continued with
great success through the present year. With
our charity, employee's make weekly
contributions which are pooled and
distributed at the end of the year.
Normally, we have three gifts that range
from $750.00 to $1,000.00 dollars. These
gifts are given to small local charities.
Since the inception of the fun we have given
away over $20,000.00 dollars. Recipients of
our funds have been:
-
Angel Tree

community to give back for what they've done
for us. Free event 16 years running. |
