Giving Back
Tie a Yellow Ribbon
Were you wondering why we have a yellow ribbon as part of our logo? We get that question all the time. Simply put, we are grateful for the men and women who serve in our military. We are not just owners of a heating and air conditioning company, but we are parents. We can only imagine how it feels for someone's son or daughter to courageously go off to war.
We recently had a former Marine, now Army infantry soldier at our home who seemed so nonchalant about his service to our country. That was until he started talking about his son and daughter and his 'why' of serving…he stated that'he serves so his children would never have to.' How can we as parents, not be eternally grateful to him and others who allow us and our children the choice to pursue our dreams…to feel safe…to live in a free America?
Making a small difference in our community, but a big difference in someone's life.
- Furnace World's Adopt a Military Family Program-We are so excited to offer this program to military families where our team gets to give back a little. We adopt a family whose spouse is deployed or a Veteran "in need" in our community. We will do an annual maintenance on their mechanical equipment to ensure it's operating safely and hopefully to prevent a 'no heat' call. It's just one less thing for the spouse at home to worry about.
- Pledge a Letter for Vets-All our employees participated in this program in 2011 where we all took time as a team during work to write letters of encouragement and appreciation to our deserving veterans.
If you want to participate, please send your letters in blank envelopes that are UNSEALED to A Million Thanks, 17853 Santiago Blvd. #107-355,Villa Park, CA 92861.
- VFW Post 101-For a few years we've been able to donate money to the local VFW to help them in their efforts with sending care packages to US troops and in 2011 the Wounded Warrior Project.
