Gus Modern Supports Toronto-Area Food Banks

The promotion, which runs through January, offers consumers a discount on modern furniture when they donate to local food banks.

Consumers that support local food banks will receive 15 percent off MSRP on Gus Modern upholstery, dining, beds, home office, storage and accents. To qualify, they must make an in-store donation of three non-perishable food items, or show proof of online donation via feedamerica.org or foodbankscanada.ca.  Collected food will be distributed by participating Gus retailers to local food banks in their respective communities.

"Food banks need support throughout the year," said Neil James, managing partner of Gus retailer Stylegarage, with locations in Toronto and Vancouver. "With a modest donation in January as part of the "Keep On Giving!" event, customers not only get a great deal on Gus* Modern furniture, they also support families in their community that need some extra help after the holiday season."

The Gus Modern furniture collection includes in-stock upholstery, beds, dining, home office, storage and accent designs. The "Keep On Giving!" event will include popular Gus pieces like the Atwood Sectional, along with recent introductions such as the Halifax Chair, Conrad Desk and Wireframe Coffee Table. All Gus Modern upholstered seating and beds are made with FSC-certified wood inside and out, in support of responsible forest management.
