While known for helping out in the community during events and hard times, Huntsville’s Home Depot No. 6578, recently took steps to help one of its own.
In March of 2009, kitchen designer Kristi Campbell was killed in a car accident on her way to work, leaving behind a 15-month-old son, Kendall, who is now in the care of her parents.
Over the last few months Home Depot associates have come together on behalf of Campbell’s family, holding bake sales and car washes as well as collecting donations from its sister stores in District 79.
As a result of their efforts, Huntsville Home Depot employees were able to present a check for $6,338 to Campbell’s family to set up a college fund for her son.

Government markets can be very profitable
Small business owners often make the mistake of overlooking state and federal government agencies as a potential market for their product or service. The old saying "the best client to sell to is your current client" is very true, but with the competitive environment that most business people are operating in today, no possibility of a sale should be overlooked, especially since most government organizations buy everything from automobiles to zippers.
