LAYING IT FORWARD IN 2014!

In 2014 LL Flooring supported 60 causes through its Lay It Forward program. The company donated nearly $200,000 in cash and product to advance its mission of improving communities and homes for generations to come – a vision that also drives the enduring quality and sustainability of LL Flooring's products. Installing a hardwood floor is an investment. It grows in character as an element of a home’s beauty and can last a lifetime. By supporting the Lay It Forward program today, LL Flooring believes its charitable investment will have a similar and lasting impact. The company is proud to support communities close to home & across the country! Here are some of the organizations who were part of the Lay It Forward program in 2014. Thank you to all for the chance to help!

“Giving back to the communities we serve has been a core tenet of Lumber Liquidators since our founding more than 20 years ago. I’m proud of how our Lay It Forward initiative reflects not just the generous spirit of our employees but also the quality of our products.” – Robert M. Lynch, CEO, Lumber Liquidators

The W.E. Skeleton 4H Educational Conference Center works to provide dynamic, research-based, hands-on learning experiences for 4-H youth, other youth, and adults that will enable them to become self-directed, contributing, and productive members of society. Summer Island Teak Vinyl was donated to the center!

Forest Park Zoo is a non-profit organization in Springfield, MA which is dedicated to wildlife education! The Zoo offers a variety of educational programs and special events for children and adults. Lumber Liquidators donated Morning Star Strand Carbonized Bamboo for a Zoo project!

Habitat for Humanity of Hardin County builds simple, affordable housing for families in need and gives them hope for a brighter future.

The organization received Bronzed Brazilian Teak Laminate for a new home.

USO Fort Carson works to lift the spirits of troops and their families through a wide variety of programs and services in Fort Carson, CO. This organization received Vintner’s Reserve Laminate for a flooring project.

Special Spaces is an organization in Lake Zurich, IL which creates dream bedrooms for children with life-threatening medical illnesses. These special spaces are meant to be a place of hope and inspiration for children to find peace and comfort while battling life-threatening illnesses. Flooring was donated as part of a makeover for a child’s bedroom. Here is Rob’s new room floored with Gunstock Oak Hardwood!

Ruff House Rescue, located in Oceanside, NY, rescues homeless pets from kill shelters in the area and across the country. These dedicated volunteers rescue hundreds of animals every year and find these pets loving homes. The shelter received Horizontal Bamboo Vinyl for the shelter office!

Habitat for Humanity of the Peninsula & Greater Williamsburg received a new laminate floor for a housing project in the area. The organization’s mission is to build and rehab safe, affordable homes for low-income families in need.

A monetary donation was made to the Junior Woman’s Club of Williamsburg (JWCW) near the company’s headquarters in Virginia. JWCW gives women an opportunity to become more involved in the community through support of various non-profit organizations. The donation went toward a sponsorship of the group’s Casino Night fundraiser. Proceeds from the event benefited Bacon Street, an organization which provides services to youth and families affected by substance abuse and/or mental health issues.

Make-A-Wish of the Mid-Atlantic is located in Bethesda, MD. The mission of this organization is to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.
