This looks like a one shot PR generated event. I suppose the purpose of this action was to enhance their image in the community, especially since we recently discovered that they eliminated DEI last August.
I hope they continue this even if it every few months. Yes, they have scaled back DEI, and maybe this is to gain favor, but it truly is a wonderful idea, and we're not going to fix everything at once. I'll take a win where I can find one these days. ✌️
Yes, it is a good idea for the store to do things like that. Take the win for sure. A good idea. I suppose it really will depend on how the economy is doing. Hopefully, some kids will get some good things that their parents were not able to afford.
I spent 11 years of my professional life working at Home Depot. I found it to be one of the most abusive, poorly managed, and wasteful American companies. I left Home Depot approximately 11 years ago and I will never step foot in any Home Depot.
Also, Bernie Marcus one of the founders of Home Depot, is an ardent supporter of Trump. Though Marcus retired several years ago he still owns a sizable portion of HD stock. So… feel good about HD boycotts.
Home Depot, despite what their website states, donates more to the Republican party than the Democratic Party (62%). Lowe's rolled back their DEI early on after the EO.
I'm trying to find local small business hardware stores. While it's nice having it all under one roof, I'm trying to avoid it at all costs.
And I've been avoiding Home Depot since Drumpf 1.0
We're fortunate that one town over, which is just about half a mile away, has one of those old-fashioned hardware stores that still have the wooden boxes in the walls for nails and various types of bolts. They have everything you could want, and the guy knows just where it is. We're lucky.
I stopped going to Home Depot during trumps first reign…. They support Trumpy Dump I’m NOT SUPPORTING THEM.
Support Lowes or your local hardware stores
Just cancelled my order. HD is now on my boycott list along with Target, Amazon, X and Meta. There are plenty of places to shop without these billionaires and their greedy racist policies.

It starts with minimally small signs, like foot traffic.
