## Designing  OUR FUTURE THROUGH A CULTURE OF COMMUNITY CITIZENSHIP 

From serving in leadership positions of community organizations to making the largest donation to the 2011 United Way Campaign of Martinsville- Henry County to organizing fundraisers to help pay medical bills for colleagues, employees of Hooker Furniture are active community citizens. Their engaged efforts on behalf of organizations like The Boys and Girls Club, the American Red Cross, the Piedmont Arts Association or the Salvation Army create a culture of giving and serving at Hooker Furniture, Bradington- Young and Sam Moore. 

As in years past, Hooker Furniture employees served in leadership roles for the 2011 United Way Campaign, and the company contributed a total of just under $94,000, marking both the largest corporate and employee dona- tions for the campaign.

## HOOKER EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION RECIPIENTS 

The Hooker Educational Foundation (HEF), in conjunction with Hooker Furniture Corporation (HFC), has awarded over $1.2 million in scholarship grants to children and spouses of employees at Hooker Furniture and its subsidiaries since the Foundation’s inception in 1991. The HEF is a tax-exempt private foundation supported by donations from HFC and friends. The students pictured here are just a few of the 16 young people who received scholarships from the Foundation or HFC for the 2011–2012 school year. 

picnic for the Boys and Girls Club and the Martinsville Mustangs college baseball team. The company provided the food, and employees served at the picnic lunch for approximately 100 children and baseball players. 

In addition to impacting the local community, Hooker Furniture strives to be a good steward of the environment through sustainable business practices. For the third consecutive year, all eight of Hooker’s U.S. facilities across all divisions obtained certification by the American Home Furnishings Alliance (AHFA) as an EFEC company. EFEC—“Enhancing Furniture’s Environmen- tal Culture”—is a voluntary environmental management and best practices program for the furniture industry. The company achieved a milestone this year by recycling over one million pounds of paper, plastic and cardboard. Energy-saving utility installations in our warehouses and new boiler controls reduced energy consumption while saving approximately $2,000 per month. 

The company also continued recycling education programs with community elementary and middle schools this year.
