By Home Furnishings Business in Upholstery on October 2007 Denver-based Furniture Row announced that shoppers at its Sofa Mart and Furniture Row Outlet brands have helped raise more than $218,000 for an organization that provides help to some of the estimated 2 million street children in Mexico City.

As part of the event called “Hope is Always in Style,” the companies pledged $20 from every sofa sold during a promotional period to World Vision, a Christian relief and development organization dedicated to helping children around the globe. The campaign, which was developed in 2000, helps street children in Mexico become more self-sufficient and move into more stable environments through World Vision’s “Ninos de las Calle” program.

“On behalf of the children of Mexico City being blessed by this gift, I’d like to extend my gratitude to Sofa Mart and Furniture Row Outlet,” said Rowin Floth, World Vision’s advancement area director.

Furniture Row operates more than 330 stores in 31 states.
