Community Involvement
Oshawa Carpet One Floor & Home is more than your local flooring store. We are your friends, neighbours, and friendly faces you see at the little league games. As your local Carpet One store, we think giving back to our community is essential. That is why we volunteer our time, services, and products to local groups and organizations. As a member of one of the world’s largest cooperatives, we know how much giving back to the community affects our business. Below are just a few organizations we are proud to partner with and support!
