Rocky’s Ace Hardware and retail locations nationwide are bringing back their annual Fill the Bucket charity campaign to benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, giving shoppers a chance to support local pediatric care through early August. Customers visiting participating Rocky’s Ace Hardware locations between Thursday, August 7, and Saturday, August 9, can make a five-dollar donation to receive a limited-edition five-gallon bucket alongside a twenty-percent discount on nearly all merchandise that fits inside the container.
The charitable drive directs one hundred percent of every five-dollar contribution straight to the specific Children’s Miracle Network hospital serving the local community of each participating store. These funds help sustain vital medical care, treatments, and services for children and families.
“People come to Rocky’s to get what they need for their homes, but they also come because they know this is a company that believes in showing up for its communities,” said Rocco Falcone, president of Rocky’s Ace Hardware. “Fill the Bucket gives our customers an easy way to do something meaningful while they’re shopping. A $5 donation may seem small, but when an entire community comes together, those small acts can make a very real difference for children and families who need help.”
Understanding the Fill the Bucket Mechanics and Store Guidelines
The annual fundraiser features a straightforward structure designed to maximize community participation while offering tangible savings to shoppers. During the three-day event from August 7 through August 9, participating stores invite patrons to purchase the promotional five-gallon bucket for a five-dollar donation. Certain standard store exclusions apply to the twenty-percent discount promotion, and shoppers are encouraged to check individual store details regarding eligible merchandise.
With fifty-two operating locations distributed across nine states, Rocky’s Ace Hardware maintains a tradition of supporting the communities it serves.
Impact on Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals
Because funds raised locally stay local, contributions collected at a specific Rocky’s Ace Hardware store directly benefit the medical center designated for that region.
Community Engagement and Future Regional Initiatives
Retailers like Rocky’s Ace Hardware leverage their localized presence to foster community cohesion, turning routine hardware purchases into collaborative charitable efforts.
Shoppers interested in participating can verify local store participation and review specific merchandise exclusions by contacting their nearest Rocky’s Ace Hardware location ahead of the August 7 start date.
