At Universal Metro, giving back to our community, particularly Santa Fe Springs, is at the heart of everything we do. While we are best known for providing high-performance flooring solutions across commercial spaces, we believe in making a difference beyond the job site. For years, we’ve been proud to partner with the Gus Velasco Neighborhood Center in Santa Fe Springs to support their Back to School Backpack Program—a cause that helps empower local students, families, and job seekers with the tools they need to succeed.

As a leading flooring company, Universal Metro is deeply committed to helping our community thrive. Through our ongoing partnership with the Gus Velasco Neighborhood Center, we are actively involved in programs that support both education and workforce readiness. Every year, we contribute to initiatives that equip students with essential school supplies and help adults gain the resources they need to re-enter the workforce with dignity and confidence.

These initiatives, including the annual Back to School Backpack Program, directly help local students prepare for the school year and empower adults to rejoin the workforce. At Universal Metro, we understand that providing these essentials is a crucial step in fostering a better future for everyone involved.
