For the third year in a row, 84 Lumber has made Newsweek’s list of Most Trustworthy Companies in America.

The North Strabane-based company has made the cut from 2024 to 2026.

Newsweek compiles this list annually, highlighting companies that have built strong trust with customers, employees and stakeholders through consistent performance, transparency and reputation.

The list, presented by Statista in partnership with Newsweek, recognizes 700 companies across 23 industries.

Maggie Hardy, owner and CEO of 84 Lumber, said in a statement: “Words can’t describe how proud we are to receive this recognition again. Trust is the foundation of everything we do at 84 Lumber, from the way we support our associates to the relationships we’ve built with our customers.

“This honor reflects the integrity of our entire company across all 320 of our locations.”

SBA honorees

The Western PA District Office of the U.S. Small Business Administration has announced five local honorees for National Small Business Week (May 3-9).

One of them is Revolution Energy Services of McDonald, winner of the Western PA Small Business Director’s Choice Award.

Two others are from Southwestern Pennsylvania: VAP Steel, East Pittsburgh, Western PA District and Mid-Atlantic Region Manufacturer of the Year; and Mancini’s Bakery, McKees Rocks, Western PA District Small Business Person of the Year, Mary Mancini Hartner.

The SBA recognizes exceptional small businesses across all 50 states, along with U.S. districts and territories.

Those who were selected to win national awards will be honored in Washington, D.C., on May 3, at the SBA National Small Business Week Awards ceremony.

SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler said in a statement: “During National Small Business Week, SBA is honored to recognize the job creators, builders and innovators who fuel our nation’s economy and anchor communities across America. This year, as we celebrate our

nation’s 250th anniversary, we are highlighting the historic America First agenda that is driving growth, opportunity and strength for the next generation of entrepreneurs.

“Through tax cuts, fair trade and deregulation, the Trump administration is proud to stand with America’s small businesses – and to celebrate the strong comeback of Main Street.”

Sunny Days

Sunny Days In-Home Care said in a news release that all of its entities are now operating under the Sunny Days name. That includes Compati Homecare in Canonsburg, and An Answered Prayer, its corporate office in McKeesport.

Sunny Days said the name change and restructuring enables it to “expand its footprint” and strengthen its ability to serve families, caregivers and communities statewide.

The company said it will operate under three regional identities: Sunny Days Southwest PA, Sunny Days Mon Valley, and Sunny Days Northwest PA.

Sunny Days Northwest PA will serve families and caregivers across the broader Northwest Pennsylvania region through a localized, community-focused care model.

John Bennett, chief executive officer of Sunny Days, said in a statement: “This change is about aligning who we are with and where we’re going.

“Our goal has always been to give more people more Sunny Days; supporting families, empowering caregivers, and ensuring individuals can age safely and comfortably at home.”

The firm emphasized that “its services, care teams and commitment to quality remain unchanged. Clients will continue to receive uninterrupted care, and caregivers will maintain their existing relationships with the individuals and families they serve.”
