December Month Of Giving – E.B. Horsman Branch Initiatives

In the spirit of community and generosity, December is EB Horsman’s Month of Local Giving. During this month, each location carefully selects a local cause or initiative to support. It’s our commitment to help and uplift our local communities. We aim to create smiles, foster a sense of community, and brighten the holiday season for everyone involved.

Habitat for Humanity ReStores are home and building supply stores that accept and resell high-quality new and used building materials. Shopping at a Habitat ReStore is a socially conscious choice, as funds generated support local Habitat for Humanity homebuilding projects. It’s also an environmentally responsible decision, as much of the inventory includes new products, gently used items, or customer returns that might otherwise end up in a landfill.
