Rebuilding and You

No matter where you stand on the causes of global climate change, some facts are not particularly disputable. There are now more people living in more parts of the U.S. than in the past, and weather events, such as Hurricane Sandy and the rash of tornadoes currently hitting our nation’s Midwest, are taking a much bigger toll on our lives and homes than ever before.

Sure, the obvious home-rebuilding products are crucial at times like these. And big companies such as Home Depot, Renewal by Andersen, and Sherwin-Williams have generously proven their indomitable American spirit by donating what’s desperately needed to rebuild homes.

But, at The Trend Curve™, we know about so many smaller companies that create the personal treasures lost from inside those homes.  The companies we work with every day make blankets, rugs, toys, bedding, clocks, candles, housewares, lamps, pet products, garden supplies, table and bath linens, cabinetry, window dressings, permanent floral, lace, seasonal décor and Christmas ornaments. In short, the things that make a home feel like home again. 

We know you, and the exceptional products you create.  So, now may be the time for the nation to get better acquainted with you, too. Consider donating.
