Employees at Tarkett’s Florence, Ala. plant are giving back through the company's “Tarkett Gives Back” program, which focuses on establishing a positive presence in the community by helping those who cannot help themselves, according to Derrica Poole, special projects coordinator for Tarkett in Florence.
Recently, Tarkett contacted the local Veterans Administration in Tuscumbia, Ala. to find a veteran who might need assistance. After reviewing several cases, Tarkett selected the home of veteran James Tuttle and his wife, Joyce. While he uses a walker, Tuttle has been bound to a wheelchair since an illness earlier this year.
