As we give thanks this year, it begins with all of the loyal customers and employees who support our company on a daily basis. We have many customers and employees who have been working with Hamilton Building Supply for many years, and others who just started working with us. We're so appreciative of the support all the same and that's what make us proud to be a local, independent building material dealer, serving the communities around us for nearly 100 years.

One of the foundations of our culture is to give more than we take, whether that's the level of service we deliver for our customers, the support we provide for our employees, or the benevolent initiatives we can undertake in our communities. Before you gather around the Thanksgiving dinner table with your friends and family tomorrow, please enjoy this edition of our Hamilton Hot Read which features several company initiatives that we're very thankful for.

Employee Turkey Giveaway

One of the best traditions in our company is our annual employee turkey giveaway. Hamilton Building Supply works with Di Paola's Turkey Farm, a local Hamilton, NJ business and provides turkeys for all of our employees who would like them.

Armida Illiano, our administrative specialist and 34 year employee, does an incredible job orchestrating this initiative for us every year. Di Paola's turkeys are always fresh and a hit at the dinner table!

Driving For A Cause Fleet is Growing

Last year we started our very unique "Driving For A Cause" fleet initiative where every new truck we roll into our fleet features a specific cause that we care about supporting at Hamilton Building Supply.

So far we've added four trucks to our "Driving For A Cause" fleet and we're working on our 5th! Every truck features a QR code that links directly to the webpage for each cause and offers the option to donate to the cause directly if you wish.
