Habitat for Humanity, Empire Form Partnership

Atlanta, GA, July 8, 2010--Habitat for Humanity International and Empire Today, based in Northlake, Illinois have begun a gift-in-kind partnership providing carpet, flooring and window treatments in support of Habitat’s affordable-housing work in more than 35 major U.S. metropolitan markets.

"We are looking forward to providing our...products to assist Habitat for Humanity in its mission in revitalizing neighborhoods across the United States," said Steve Silvers, CEO, Empire Today.

Empire will provide name-brand carpet, hardwood, laminate, ceramic and vinyl flooring, and bath and shower liners for use in new home construction or for resale in Habitat for Humanity ReStores. Habitat ReStores sell reusable and surplus building materials to the public in support of Habitat’s work in communities.

Empire will provide additional support to Habitat ReStores with donations of window treatments.
