Eastside Lumber & Decking announces its pledge to community service by joining Austin Gives™. Austin Gives tracks and recognizes business philanthropy in metropolitan Austin. Eastside Lumber & Decking is a locally owned, full service lumber yard in Austin offering expert advice, “hotshot” deliveries, high quality wood selection, and competitive pricing. Though only a 3 year old company, Eastside Lumber & Decking includes giving back in its growth plan.
Eastside Lumber & Decking’s giving program is based on building new relationships, deepening existing relationships within the community, and diversity of impact. This may be expected for big companies, but for a small, new local building supply that started in a downturn in the construction industry, our proactive and involved nature is unique. Our creativity comes in understanding the impact of the business on our neighbors and environment, and in how we support our community.
