Community Involvement

Habitat for Humanity
In today’s economy we at VanDrie Home Furnishings understand that not everyone is able to afford even life’s necessities.  Because we care for those around us, VanDrie is very supportive of innovative ways to help those in need.  

Supporting Habitat for Humanity is another way for VanDrie to share in the needs of others.  Through volunteer labor and donations Habitat builds and rehabilitates basic homes alongside the homeowner and their families.

We seek to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from our communities and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.

Our Commitment to Animal Welfare
Our love of animals has led us to support several animal friendly causes. Most recently, we donated to the Save the Tiger Fund in conjunction with our new product launch, Tigressa Softstyle. It was a natural fit for us to spread the word about the Save the Tiger Fund and do what we could to help save the animals whose majestic beauty inspired our new line. We have also partnered with animal welfare charities such as the American Human Society, the Canadian Federation for Human Societies and the Delta Society through the Muddiest Buddies campaigns which featured our worry-free Relax, It’s Lees carpet that is perfect for pet owners.

Tri Lake Home Builders Association
VanDrie Home Furnishings partners with the local Michigan Home Builders Association to assist area contractors and residents alike in the successful completion of homes and buildings.

VanDrie work with area contractors who partner with them to help keep the costs under control in a competitive and growing community.

United Way
VanDrie Home Furnishings has been supporting the United Way for over 10 years.  

By being involved in United Way fund raisers and projects we feel we are able to care for the community we are a part of.

United Way is about people working as a community, for the community to improve the lives of those in need.

A Green Commitment
In addition to providing our customers with a wide selection of Green Select products, we are also committed to taking action in our stores and communities to actively make the world a cleaner and healthier place. We feel this is an important part of being responsible citizens.

We are making a green commitment in our stores and offices by focusing on educating our employees and business partners; conserving resources and reducing waste; and encouraging recycling and green maintenance practices.

For the past three years, Carpet One Floor & Home locations throughout North America have also teamed together with their communities to clean up and beautify communities in celebration of National Green Select Day.
