A new bed can make all the difference to sleeping well and overall better health. Last week, Ashley HomeStore donated and delivered 451 mattresses to three non-profit organizations that serve children in foster care and families transitioning from homelessness.

Ashley HomeStore's “Buy One, Get One” mattress promotion provided a donation for every mattress purchased between Feb. 23 and March 7. The mattresses were donated The Children’s Home, Metropolitan Ministries and 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. We are very grateful to Ashley HomeStore and its commitment to our community.”

“Ashley HomeStore believes that everyone deserves a good night’s sleep,” said Chris Caprio, VP of operations, Ashley HomeStore. “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.
