For a few hours last week, Hoffman Nursery “sold” more than grasses. From furniture to clothing, books to electronics, our employees donated hundreds of gently used items to set up a market where employees could “shop.” Instead of using cash, employees were given “Hoffman Bucks” to spend. For every Hoffman Buck the company spent, the nursery donated a real dollar to the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina. At the end of the day, the leftover books were given to a local library, and the rest of the unsold items were donated to TROSA, a comprehensive, long-term, residential substance abuse recovery program in Durham, North Carolina.
In addition to the market, employees also played games, and some entered the “Ugly Holiday Sweater” contest. It was truly a fun day for everyone! Check out a few photos of our wonderful afternoon below. A huge thank you to those who donated items and who helped organize the market. It was a great day for the nursery and our community.
