At FiltersFast.com, we believe that everyone should have a safe place to call home. That’s why we partner with Habitat for Humanity of Charlotte, NC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We are so proud of this partnership and wanted to share a brief history of our involvement.<\/p>\n

2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the spring of 2019, we held a quarterly company event where we hosted a book drive for Habitat’s Julia’s Cafe & Books to raise money to build energy-efficient, affordable Habitat houses at a company-wide event. Our employees brought tons of books- so many that the Habitat Team couldn’t fit them all into the container they brought.<\/p>\n

Volunteer Days<\/h3>\n

In the summer of that same year, we gave our employees the opportunity to take a paid day off of work to help build a home in a community in Charlotte. Many of our employees really enjoyed this day and loved being able to give back to their local community.<\/p>\n

ReStore<\/strong><\/p>\n

We also offered our employees a paid day off to volunteer at a Charlotte ReStore. This group worked restocking areas of the store, moving items to the floor, breaking down boxes, and so much more.<\/p>\n

For the employees who were not able to attend the summer volunteer opportunity, we offered a fall volunteer opportunity that turned out to be on a cold and rainy day. Everyone powered through and worked hard with smiles on their faces. Our team really loves giving back to their local community!<\/p>\n

2020<\/h2>\n

Early in 2020, as the world shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, FiltersFast.com jumped into action and pledged to match every $1 donated by our customers up to $10,000 to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Charlotte. We were thankful for the opportunity to help assist our partner during this challenging time.<\/p>\n
