Helpful Hearts is a celebration of Westlake Ace Hardware associates who are doing the unexpected – always finding ways to help others, choosing to live their lives with integrity, and striving to be role models in the communities they serve. Most importantly, Helpful Hearts turns the spotlight on our helpful heroes across America. Quite simply, it answers the question, “What happens when a good heart meets a helpful heart?

FEATURED STORY: “Compassion Beyond the Aisles”

At Westlake Ace, Cindi Pritchett is known for her reliability and excellence. “When she’s here, things are just better,” says her manager, Joni Short. Cindi’s compassion extends far beyond her job. She is a dedicated volunteer at Kaleb House, a residential recovery program for families and child survivors of sex trafficking and exploitation. Recently, Cindi took vacation days and unpaid leave for her second deployment as a disaster relief volunteer, assisting tornado victims in Oklahoma.

In recognition of her exceptional contributions, Cindi was honored with the Helpful Hearts certificate and a donation check in her name for Kaleb House. Congratulations, Cindi, on your unwavering dedication to Westlake Ace and your community. To hear more about Cindi’s giving spirit, watch this short video:
