Havertys Furniture Supports Military Appreciation Month with Generous Donations
In a remarkable show of appreciation, Havertys Furniture, in collaboration with Tempur-Pedic, is stepping up to honor military families this month. The company is thrilled to announce that they will be donating over 70 mattresses to support local veterans and their loved ones. This initiative aligns with the spirit of Military Appreciation Month, making it a heartfelt celebration of those who serve our country.
Celebrating Veterans at Multi-Showroom Event
On an upcoming Saturday in early May, Havertys will host a Military Appreciation Event across all of its 130 showrooms. This engaging event is designed to acknowledge the service and sacrifices of military families, both current and veteran members of the armed forces. Attendees will be able to enjoy a variety of exclusive giveaways, refreshments, and unique financing options available only during this special occasion.
Exclusive Giveaways and Prizes Await
Guests at the event will also have the chance to win a fantastic prize, including a $1,000 gift certificate to make their furniture dreams come true. The event's atmosphere aims to be lively and cheerful, celebrating the strength and resilience of military families.
Partnership with The Joel Fund for Community Support
In addition to the event, Havertys is establishing a partnership with The Joel Fund (TJF), a Raleigh-based non-profit organization focused on helping military veterans and their families. The prominent donation of 78 mattresses will go directly to those military families identified by TJF as needing assistance. The organization's mission to provide necessary resources, support, and community ties is complemented by Havertys' charitable efforts.
Making a Meaningful Impact
Brooke Dickhart, the Executive Director of The Joel Fund, expressed heartfelt gratitude for Havertys' support. She stated, "We are incredibly grateful for Havertys' generous donation and their commitment to supporting military families. This contribution will make a significant difference in the lives of those we serve, providing the much-needed comfort and support of a good night's sleep." Such statements underscore the positive impact of collaborations aimed at uplifting communities.
