Now through May 27, 84 Lumber is giving away $8,400 per week in store credit to three deserving military families or service members.

In addition, the company is profiling several of its own veteran employees on its Facebook page.

At each of its more than 250 store locations, 84 Lumber is recognizing injured veterans through the installation of combat wounded parking signs and spaces. The preferred parking spots are in honor of the Wounded Warriors Family Support program.

For the month of May, the company has increased its normal 10 percent military discount to 15 percent.

The lumber supplier has stores in White Plains, Mechanicsville and Lexington Park.
