The mission of the nonprofit Housewares Charity Foundation is, in the spirit of goodwill, to raise funds annually for designated charities and help unite and promote the philanthropic image of the housewares industry.
In a collaborative effort among industry manufacturers, retailers and allied industry partners, the Foundation hosts an annual charitable dinner that coincides with the International Home + Housewares Show. The goals of the dinner are to raise funds for charities, unite our industry and honor its leaders.
Honorees are selected for their humanitarian efforts and exceptional leadership. The Foundation endeavors to create an industry legacy by supporting a single charity in continuity while also partnering annually with charities selected by honorees.
