by SUMMIT, N.J. — Bob’s Discount Furniture recently raised $37,000 for Family Promise through their Café Collections for a Cause program. From April 1st through June 30th, customers at Bob’s stores nationwide made donations to Family Promise. At the end of the fundraising cycle, Bob’s matched the total funds raised dollar-for-dollar.
“When Bob’s teams up with our guests through our Café Collections for a Cause program, we are able to give back in a way that supports every community where we do business,” said Lindsay Ruszczyk, Bob’s Discount Furniture Communications and Community Outreach Director. “We are honored we could fundraise for our new partner, Family Promise, who is dedicated to our shared cause of serving and housing families in need.”
Bob’s generous donation will bolster Family Promise’s work supporting families through multiple programs, including eviction prevention, emergency shelter, stabilization, and housing services.
“We could not do the work that we do supporting families experiencing homelessness without Bob’s support and their generous donation of $37,000,” said Family Promise CEO Cheryl Schuch. “Like Family Promise, Bob’s is committed to ensuring everyone has a place to call home. Together, we will continue making a positive impact on households across the country.”
In addition to financial contributions, Bob’s also supports Family Promise through volunteerism. This week Bob’s employees from the Willow Grove, PA store volunteered their time to fix up the Family Promise of Montco PA facility through painting and gardening and presented Family Promise with the $37,000 check that will go a long way in transforming the lives of children and families.
“It was an honor to volunteer at the MontCo chapter of Family Promise and help prepare apartments for incoming families,” said Judy Troy, Bob’s Discount Furniture Regional Director. “This has been such a meaningful experience for the Bob’s team to see the impact partners like Family Promise have on the communities we serve.”
