GAHS Community
Because The Great American Home Store is a local business, being able to contribute to the community is one of our greatest blessings.
One of our core values is being a part of our community by not only helping create a house into a home but also to support our community by giving back.
In 2018 and 2019 GAHS staff joined in the Walk With Me, Wish With Me benefit walk held by the Make-A-Wish foundation.
Make-A-Wish
- Every tile has a story...A story of fighting for something bigger than ourselves.
- Fighting for something greater than our dreams.
- Fighting for something more than our differences.
- Fighting for something THAT BRINGS BACK CHILDHOOD to each individual child by helping Make-A-Wish grant one wish at a time.

Dogs 2nd Chance The Mutt Strut 5K was a great way for us to give back to the four-legged members of our community. There are still canine friends out there that have it ruff, so visit Northgate Animal Hospital to get involved. -
Wolf River Conservancy GAHS cruised the streets in partnership with Wolf River Conservancy raising awareness about alternative transportation and environmental sustainability in 2019. The Wolf River Conservancy has focused on saving the 100-year floodplain from being developed or converted to non-natural and destructive land uses, such as sand and gravel mines. This focus has helped the Conservancy protect approximately 16,000 acres so far.
