Giving Back to the Community
Community Matters
At Furniture & ApplianceMart, we pride ourselves on making our communities a better place for all of us to live. As a local family and employee-owned and operated company, one of our most important corporate responsibilities is giving back to the communities we serve. Each year, Furniture & ApplianceMart gives to hundreds of charitable organizations and events in central, northern, and eastern Wisconsin. We’re proud to support organizations like Marshfield Clinic, Lakeland Food Pantry, New Community Shelter in Green Bay, River Food Pantry in Madison, and so many more.
The Fore a Cause Event
Originally Fore A Cause, started in 2004 and has now raised over 2 Million dollars. forl non-profits in Central Wisconsin that impact hundreds of children and men and women in the area. Our non-profits for the Fore A Cause outing are the Wausau & Stevens Point Boys & Girls Clubs, Blessings in a Backpack, Big Brothers and Big Sisters Stevens Point and Marshfield, Bridge Street Mission, Hannah Center and Hagar House.
Toys for Tots Shop
An annual 1-night shopping spree was held at the local Fleet Farm in Stevens Point, WI. All of the gifts purchased were transported from Fleet Farm to the Toys for Tots drop off, and then sent off to kids so they had something nice under the tree on Christmas morning. Over the last 10 years, the Fonti family has worked with friends, community leaders, and business owners to raise more than $80,000 in gifts for the kids of Wisconsin. To date, these donations have helped over 8,000 kids receive gifts on Christmas.
Furniture Donations
Since 2011, more than 12 truckloads of furniture has been donated to St. Vincent de Paul in Green Bay, WI. The furniture donations included upholstery, bedroom, dining room furniture, and more. St. Vincent de Paul was chosen because 100% of the profits from the organization go back to the programs they serve.
