Ashley HomeStore to Donate 35 Mattress Sets

CORPUS CHRISTI - Ashley Furniture HomeStore's "A Hope to Dream" program is donating 35 mattress sets to local children in need during August. The furniture retailer's goodwill project is in collaboration with the Corpus Christ Hooks.

Each mattress set is comprised of a mattress, foundation, and comforter.

Also, local partnerships with Post Acute Medical and the American Red Cross help provide other donated items for the 35 children as they prepare for the 2016-17 school year.

Youngsters selected to receive a new bed will be treated to an evening at Whataburger Field, including a special night with Hooks players and coaching staff members.

You can help Ashley Furniture HomeStore and the Hooks with nominations! Visit http://www.ashleyfurniturehomestore.com/events/ahopetodream.html or request an electronic application by emailing [email protected].

In-store applications are also available at the Ashley Furniture HomeStore in Corpus Christi.

"This event will be our largest single-day donation with our "A Hope to Dream" program. As a mother of two young children, I witness first-hand what having a bed of their own and having a quality night's sleep can do for these developmental years. Obtaining a great night of sleep promotes a healthy lifestyle and is an excellent way to start out everyone's day" said Paige Streiff, Owner of the Corpus Christi Ashley Furniture HomeStore.

Said Dr. Craig Bennett, M.D. of Ashley's Wellness Center: "An estimated 30 to 50 percent of children have trouble sleeping well. Getting a good night's sleep is more important than most people realize. It helps ensure a healthy lifestyle by lowering stress and reducing the risk for illness and depression, while improving cognitive and physical performance. A good night's sleep is especially important to help children focus academically and grow socially."

Ashley Furniture HomeStore's "A Hope to Dream" program was created to provide mattress sets to children with a demonstrated need.

Hope to Dream

Ashley Furniture HomeStore believes that every child deserves a good night's sleep. Founded in 2010 on that guiding principle, Ashley Furniture HomeStore's "A Hope to Dream" program provides mattress sets to less fortunate children in our area. A portion of the proceeds for every mattress purchased at the Ashley Furniture HomeStores in Victoria and Corpus Christi helps pay for a mattress set for a child in need. To date, Ashley Furniture HomeStores throughout the U.S. have provided underprivileged children with approximately 13,000 beds. Those wishing to nominate a child can visit http://www.ashleyfurniturehomestore.com/events/ahopetodream.html or request an electronic application by emailing [email protected]. In-store applications are also available at participating locations.
