We did this by contributing funds donated at our Open House Events across the country, plus we donated $25 per sale on all products at Open House and $25 per sale of every single Chicken Coop sold for the entire year. In addition, for every Chicken Coop sold in 2015, Woodtex owners Kent Lapp and Ben Lapp donated a matching $25 donation!

In addition to fundraising, we sent 6 of our team members to Haiti last February to help physically build Chicken Coops and get to know the communities and some of the families that KORE Foundation serves. We had an amazing time, took some awesome photos, and had a blast serving in Haiti.

When all was said and done, we exceeded our goal and raised $19,294. This funded our goal of 8 Chicken Coops, plus 1 more addition coop and then some! We are proud to help change the lives of struggling families in Haiti.

An earthquake devastates an impoverished nation and millions of dollars of aid pour in as the world responds to crisis. A hungry orphan is given a free meal by a generous organization. But what happens when these donations are exhausted? What happens when that child wakes up hungry again the next day? Could there be a way to eradicate world poverty and hunger? KORE Foundation believes there is.

Not a handout, but a way out.

KORE creates sustainable solutions to extreme poverty in Haiti, focusing on the steps “beyond relief” for the greatest impact. With a holistic approach, KORE is addressing the spiritual, physical and economic needs of the extreme poor.

OUR PARTNERSHIP

Woodtex is so excited to partner with KORE foundation in 2015. We 100% believe in their mission and their goals, and we have committed to support them in 2015. Our goal is to fund 8 Chicken Coops, which is $16000.

Raised So Far: $16570. We’ve raised 104% of our goal!

So, how are we supporting KORE in 2015?

• In February of this year, our entire Leadership team (6 of us) is going to Haiti as a volunteer work team.
• Donations from meals served at every Open House
• All Woodtex Sales Centers will donate $25 per sale on all products that occur at Open House
• All Woodtex Sales Centers will donate $25 per Chicken Coop sold ALL YEAR during 2015
• Woodtex Owner, Kent Lapp, will MATCH $25 Donation per Chicken Coop sold
• Woodtex will accept donations on behalf of KORE Foundation throughout the year

We got to know Chip and Joanna Gaines (the stars of HGTV’s Fixer Upper) in July 2014, when they came to Travis at our Texas facility because they needed a big ol’ dependable storage shed for Magnolia Market, their Home Decor shop in Waco, TX. They ended up selecting The Classic Garage Shed with a ramp to meet their needs.

Travis was happy to deliver, of course.

By the way, if anyone at Woodtex was going to end up on National television, it would definitely be Travis! You can catch Travis delivering “Big Blue” on Fixer Upper Episode 4, Season 2.

Magnolia Feed + Supply

When Magnolia Market continued to outgrow their space, they came to Travis again for some help.

The shop has been packed with shoppers to the point where they’ve had to turn customers away. Our Texas Team built them an additional 512 square feet of shopping space, which is now located at their Silos location.

Can you believe this building is a shed?!
That’s right, they simply customized The Original Shed Model, by adding a set of double doors on the side.

The Garden Shed at the Silos

Next up, when Magnolia Market launched their new project at the Silos, they were in need of a well designed storage space, so, of course, they called Travis again. They customized this shed with Cedar doors and a classic cupola. We love it!

THE FARM

You may have seen this latest project Chip and Joanna added to their farm in Waco on another episode of Fixer Upper. Our Texas crew built a custom White Barn on the Gaines’ property, right next to their house.

We are so honored that Chip and Jo trust Woodtex to work for them, and construct a space that will add value (and room!) to their family. We had a blast getting this barn up!

Joanna posted this beautiful photo on Instagram:

We have had a BLAST working with this DIY Duo!

When it comes to managing and organizing a busy family, Whitney Gainer from Shanty-2-Chic.com knows a thing or two about chaos and disorganization. Life with five children, a hard-working husband, and a home to maintain is fun, but it’s not easy. Anything that helps keep kids and all their stuff corralled without too much effort is a win for the Gainer family.

Whitney came to us for a solution… check out what we built for her!

When Ashley approached Woodtex for her own shed after Whitney’s success story, we were delighted!

Ashley and her family just completed their new house, and after all the hard work of move-in, she was itching to clear her garage of “stuff”. The lawn mower, go cart, toys, sport equipment… she wanted it out of her garage ASAP!

Ashley’s 12′ x 16′ Country Cottage is spacious enough to store all that stuff. The gabled dormer allows for plenty of light to fill the space, and the LP SmartPanel flooring gives a clean look. As Ashley says, “It doesn’t feel like a… a shed!“. Click here see Ashley’s blog post on shanty-2-chic.com.
