BUILD UP CHILDREN IN YOUR COMMUNITY
Community Connection Starts with You!
Nowadays, more and more customers are looking to the values of a company before they spend their hard-earned money. Customers want to know that brands stand for something that is worthwhile, that the brand supports their community and that they are focused on more than just the bottom line. As one of the largest buying groups in the lumber and building supply industry, TIMBER MART has made it easy for their members to meet this need and give back to the communities their dealers call home. The company created their charitable foundation, Timberkids, with a focus on improving the health and well-being of Canadian children in the local communities where TIMBER MART members do business. Timberkids strives to support groups that are as inclusive as possible, benefit the most children and that make a grassroots difference in their communities. Over the last five years, Timberkids has donated over $1 million to Canadian children’s charities, which has positively impacted hundreds of TIMBER MART members’ causes and local communities.
