Reece USA, $100 for 1000

Once again, Reece USA has gifted a holiday shopping spree to 1,000 children across our footprint, making the holidays a bit brighter for kids and families in need.

Through the $100 for 1,000 holiday program, each year Reece USA distributes $100 gift cards to organizations that assist children in need. The gift cards help the children celebrate the holiday season with new clothes, toys, and essentials they may not have otherwise.

Reece USA Team Members nominate children and family-based organizations for the program and the Reece USA Charity Committee makes the final selections. In 2024, 40 organizations are being supported and the gift cards were distributed in time for the children to do some Black Friday shopping.

This year in particular, many of the gift cards went to children and families impacted by Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina, giving those recipients some much needed relief and holiday cheer in the wake of the devastation from the storm.

Started at Fortiline Waterworks more than a decade ago, $100 for 1,000 will return again in 2025.
