Sept 7: Help Flooring Families in Need with FCIF's 'One Day to Give'
The Floor Covering Industry Foundation (FCIF) is hosting “One Day to Give,” a 24-hour online fundraising drive, on Thursday, September 7. One Day to Give unites the floor covering industry to make a lasting impact on families faced with unexpected medical battles who need help getting back on their feet. FCIF is a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit that has been assisting floor covering workers and their families since 1981. The organization provides a way for the industry to “take care of its own” by providing financial assistance grants to those who are struggling with severe illnesses, injuries, and disabilities.
In 2022 alone, FCIF provided 54 grants to families in the floorcovering industry, awarding over $500,000 to help with doctor’s visits, surgeries, medical equipment, prescriptions, and also basic needs such as mortgage, rent, utilities, and food.
