Ashley HomeStore Donates Over 450 Mattresses

Furniture World News Desk on 5/30/2016


Ashley HomeStore reports that it has donated and delivered 451 mattresses to three non-profit organizations that serve children in foster care and families transitioning from homelessness.

As a result of a recent “Buy One, Get One” Ashley HomeStore mattress promotion, those in need can now get a better night’s sleep. For every mattress purchased between February 23 and March 7, Ashley HomeStore donated a bed to The Children’s Home, Metropolitan Ministries, or Devereux non-profit organizations.

“The Children’s Home is thrilled to partner with Ashley HomeStore in the donation of 125 mattresses for needy children in the Tampa Bay area,” said Irene Rickus, President and CEO of The Children’s Home. “We see this partnership having an immediate impact on the well-being of boys and girls in our Residential, Foster Care and Kinship Programs. Statistics show that quality sleep for children means better performance in school and an increase in the overall health of a child. We are very grateful to Ashley HomeStore and their commitment to our community.”

“Ashley HomeStore believes that everyone deserves a good night’s sleep,” said Chris Caprio, VP of Operations. “As a company, Ashley HomeStore has always strived to give back to our communities, and we are very fortunate to be surrounded with other organizations that share our same ideals.”

Ashley HomeStore donated a total of 291 mattresses to benefit both the Tampa and Orlando area communities, while donating 160 mattresses to the Atlanta area Devereux. There are currently 34 HomeStores located in Florida, 19 HomeStores in Georgia, and 627 HomeStores worldwide.

“We are grateful to receive such a generous donation from Ashley HomeStore,” said Tim Marks, Metropolitan Ministries President and CEO. “Part of our mission at Metropolitan Ministries is to treat those who are homeless with dignity. These mattresses will provide that little bit of extra dignity and comfort when those who live in our temporary housing need a comfortable place to rest.”

“Devereux Georgia is delighted for the new partnership with Ashley HomeStore and is extremely grateful for the donation of the mattresses to our center near Atlanta,” said Gwendolyn B. Skinner, Executive Director of Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health Georgia. “The children and youth we serve in our residential facility, group homes, and foster care program will be thrilled with the new mattresses. We are exceedingly grateful to Ashley HomeStore for their generosity and caring.”
