Ashley Furniture delivers beds to needy kids
Ashley Furniture HomeStore in Cranbrook proudly announces that they have surpassed last year’s bed package giveaway for ‘A Hope to Dream’ program, which seeks to provide less fortunate local children with comfortable mattresses for a good night’s sleep.
A portion from every mattress sold at the Ashley HomeStore in Cranbrook goes towards a full sleep package which consists of a twin memory foam mattress set with sheets and comforter set (Retail value of $850). The staff also pitched in and raised enough money to buy each child a Christmas gift.
“We’re so proud to be part of a program that’s making healthy sleep a reality for thousands of underprivileged children across North America and we’re proud of everyone who’s helped make it a reality,” said Joey Hoechsmann, Ashley HomeStore licensee in Cranbrook. “There are over 200 Ashley Furniture HomeStores participating in A Hope to Dream, not to mention dedicated partners and community members who continue to make a difference in the lives of many children. Without their help and passion, the program wouldn’t be where it is today. It truly is a group effort.”
The selection process was aided greatly by a partnership with the Boys and Girls Club and The Salvation Army to select 10 lucky kids in the Cranbrook area.
On Dec 12, the Ashley elves visited each home and helped set up the new sleep sets. “It is a very humbling experience,” Hoechsmann explains. “All of our Ashley team members were greatly moved by the gratitude and warm responses they received from the well deserving families.”
The goal for 2016 is to deliver even more new beds into children’s homes. Children are a vital part of any growing community, and it is important to find a way to help them live healthier and more productive lives. A good night’s sleep has a positive impact on all areas of a child’s life, from academics and extracurricular activities, to relationships with friends and family.
