TOANO, Va., Oct. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumber Liquidators (NYSE: LL), the largest specialty retailer of hardwood flooring in North America, has donated approximately 12,000 square feet of flooring to the non-profit W.E. Skelton 4-H Educational Conference Center at Smith Mountain Lake in Wirtz, Va., to aid in its mission of improving its local communities for future generations.
The W.E. Skelton 4-H Center has served youth since 1966 and is among one of America's leading 4-H Centers. The organization aims to provide dynamic, research-based, hands-on learning experiences, and focuses on providing a safe, child-friendly facility to enable youth and adults to become self-directed, contributing and productive members of society.
The wood-look vinyl plank flooring donated by Lumber Liquidators is being installed in several areas currently being renovated, including classrooms, meeting spaces and housing. The upgrades will enable the W.E. Skelton 4-H Center to offer year-round programming.
"This donation from Lumber Liquidators helps us create a safe environment that enriches and positively impacts our community," said Roger Ellmore, Executive Director of W.E. Skelton 4-H Center. "Now we can reallocate funds we had set aside for flooring and invest those dollars directly in the kids."
Lumber Liquidators is supporting W.E. Skelton 4-H Center through its philanthropic program, Lay It Forward. The guiding principle of Lay It Forward is benefitting the well being of generations to come, a vision that also drives the enduring quality and sustainability of Lumber Liquidators' products. Installing a hardwood floor is an investment by homeowners – it lasts for years and grows in character as an element of a home's beauty. By supporting the Lay It Forward program now, Lumber Liquidators believes its investment will have a similar and lasting impact.
Tom Sullivan, Founder and acting Chief Executive Officer, commented, "It is an honor to support the W.E. Skelton 4-H Center, which has helped improve its community for nearly 50 years. Supporting this legacy was a natural fit for our Lay It Forward program."
