A Business With BIG Heart
Giving back has been a passion for the Cannarella family since starting A1 Furniture out of their garage in 1980. Today the business has grown to three locations across Madison area and so has A1’s ability to give back. Each month, A1 is committed to supporting a local organization that makes a difference in the community by spreading awareness, making donations, and supporting events.
"Business to us is not just about making a profit. It's about helping others and being able to give back to the community. It's who we always have been and are today. Supporting our community is a must. And that's one of the big reasons I do this."
- Paul Cannarella, Owner
We are a strong community supporter donating funds and items to local charities that include:
