At Pierce Flooring, we are pleased to be able to share with you  one of our latest community efforts. Several upgrades have been made to the Mary Alice Fortin Health Community Center thanks to donations to the Billings Clinic Foundation, one of which is new carpet donated by Pierce Flooring.  Additional improvements to the property include: paint, lighting and wall coverings in some of the rooms. The center hasn’t seen upgrades since the 1980’s! We are so happy that we were able to be a part of this community improvement project. There was a nice mention of us in the Billings Clinic newsletter.

Thanks for sharing in our excitement about receiving this award!

During our recent meetings with our website provider, Creating Your Space, we were introduced to a national program called Homes for Our Troops. It is a national non-profit, non-partisan 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2004.This is a grass roots effort to support injured soldiers who have special needs for their homes. We have committed to being a part of the program.

It is with duty and honor that Homes for Our Troops assists severely injured Servicemen and Servicewomen and their immediate families by raising donations of money, building materials and professional labor and to coordinate the process of building a home that provides maximum freedom of movement and the ability to live more independently.

“We at Pierce Flooring & Design believe there is so much we can do to support those who defend our country. We are proud to be part of the Homes for Troops effort that is being conducted throughout the US. It is just one small thing we can do to be THANKFUL for our safety here at home.” – Jon Pierce

“I can’t tell you how proud and happy I am to be part of Pierce for participating in such a great cause!” – Sarah Wandle

The homes provided by Homes for Our Troops are given at NO COST to the Veterans. To learn more about this organization please visit: www.homesforourtroops.org

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our readers, customers and supporters. Let’s all remember those things we need to be thankful for including all of our Servicemen and Servicewomen.
