Supporting Celebration of Service
When customers purchased a specially-themed Home Depot gift card during Celebration of Service, five percent of the value placed on the card went to The Home Depot Foundation to support nonprofits dedicated to veterans’ housing needs. As of today, customers have purchased more than 35,000 gift cards, resulting in $240,000 donation to The Home Depot Foundation.
Serving Those Who Served Us All
The 2011 Celebration of Service campaign has concluded, but The Home Depot Foundation and Team Depot will continue on our mission to ensure that every veteran has a safe place to call home.
