US Hardware Supply Launches Innovative Campaign to Help Severely Injured U.S. Veterans

Posted on: Tuesday, 11 November 2008, 09:00 CST

US Hardware Supply, a supplier of home hardware products for the mortgage field services and real estate industry, today announced the start of its Help Our Heroes campaign which will raise funds for U.S. servicemen and women severely injured during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and their care-giving families. US Hardware Supply will contribute funds based on the sales of its products and the company is asking its customers and associates in the mortgage field services industry to make donations as well. Rebuild Hope, a "one-of-a-kind" national non-profit, will ensure that 100 percent of the funds are distributed to qualifying families. The initial phase of the company's campaign aims to help veterans during this Holiday season and will run from November 15 until December 24.

"Thousands of veterans and their families struggle with big financial problems that deeply undermine their efforts to rebuild their lives after they have left the military," said Mark Clark, the president of US Hardware Supply. "Along with foreclosures, unaffordable mortgage payments are primary sources of financial stress causing anxiety, depression and family dislocation. Our company realizes that its help will be especially appreciated during the Holidays and will work with Rebuild Hope to ensure these families receive 100 percent of the donations from our campaign."

"Rebuild Hope is pleased to participate in the Help Our Heroes campaign. Partnerships with American companies are critical to our mission of providing on-going transitional financial assistance to our veterans," said Dana Hendrickson, president and founder of Rebuild Hope. "Veterans and their families are victims of a U.S. humanitarian crisis of a nature and scale that would shock most Americans. It's time we provide badly needed relief."

Help Our Heroes

Help Our Heroes was established by the founders of US Hardware Supply with the sole purpose of giving something significant back to our country. "We will donate $2.00 to Rebuild Hope every time US Hardware Supply ships a case of products sold during the campaign period," said Mark Clark. "And US Hardware Supply is encouraging our customers, associates and their employees to donate as well as they have enjoyed tremendous prosperity as thousands of fellow Americans lost their homes." Donations can be made at either www.USHardwareSupply.com or www.rebuildhope.org. Simply select the Help Our Heroes button to participate. There is no purchase required to make a contribution. Campaign results and the stories of supported families will be displayed on the Rebuild Hope website.
