Proud to support the communities we call home.
At Maxbauer Ace Hardware, being “the Helpful Place” means more than helping with projects. It means showing up for our neighbors. Since 1954, we’ve been deeply rooted in the Traverse City area, and we believe strong communities are built when local businesses actively give back. Through charitable partnerships, local programs, and everyday acts of service, we’re proud to support the people who support us
Round up for Charities
One small action can make a big difference. Through our Round Up for Charity program, customers can choose to round up their purchase total to support meaningful causes. These contributions add up quickly and allow us to partner with organizations that are making a real impact.
Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals
Funds raised through Ace Hardware help support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, providing critical care, equipment, and services for children and families in need. Every dollar helps hospitals deliver lifesaving treatment and compassionate care to kids throughout the country.
Supporting Our Veterans
We are proud to support those who have served our country. Maxbauer Ace Hardware offers a military discount as a small way of saying thank you to active-duty service members and veterans. It’s our honor to serve those who have given so much, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to support military families in our community.
Helping Where It Matters Most
Whether it’s supporting local nonprofits, assisting families in need, or lending a hand during community events, Maxbauer Ace Hardware is committed to making a positive impact beyond our store walls. Our team lives and works here, and we’re proud to invest our time, resources, and heart into the communities we serve.
