The Wholesaler magazine has been recognized with the esteemed Storehouse of World Vision Partnership Award, presented during the annual Crystal Vision Awards Breakfast on Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2025, in Las Vegas. This distinguished honor highlights the magazine’s unwavering commitment to supporting World Vision’s mission and its Storehouse initiative, which provides housing solutions and disaster relief to communities in need.

World Vision is committed to empowering communities nationwide to build foundations for a stronger future. These efforts are made possible through donations from various industries, including the plumbing, heating, cooling, and piping (PHCP) sector, where manufacturers and wholesale distributors generously contribute materials to World Vision’s Storehouses — critical distribution hubs that facilitate the rapid deployment of essential supplies in times of need.

As an active committee member of the Crystal Vision Executive Committee, Ruth Mitchell, editor of The Wholesaler, has played a role in strengthening industry engagement and advancing the committee’s mission. The award recognition underscores the magazine’s leadership in fostering industry partnerships that drive meaningful change.

“For more than 80 years, The Wholesaler magazine has championed the achievements of the PHCP industry while supporting the companies, individuals, and organizations that drive its success — along with their commitment to the communities they serve,” Mitchell said. “This award is a testament to our dedication—not only to informing and educating the PHCP community — but also to making a tangible impact through purposeful collaborations.”

The Crystal Vision Awards, a highly anticipated event within the kitchen and bath industry, honors individuals and organizations that exemplify leadership in philanthropy, advocacy, and community support.
