High-end bedding vendor Dormeo will donate 50 mattresses and foundations and 100 pillows to the Dallas area’s homeless and poor through Dallas-based charity Dwell with Dignity.
Dwell with Dignity is a non-profit organization of interior design volunteers dedicated to helping create better home environments for families struggling with homelessness and poverty.
After learning about Dwell with Dignity from his wife, Plano, Texas-based Dormeo’s CEO Jon Stowe took it upon himself to research the charity and the stories of the families it has helped. Recognizing that collecting furnishing homes was a large part of the organization’s focus, Stowe reached out to see how Dormeo could help support the organizations efforts. In November, the company participated in its first two projects helping an Army veteran, her husband and two daughters and a single mother and her five year-old daughter.
The first of two donations will go to a mother nominated by Shared Housing, who will receive four bed pillows. The second donation will go to a veteran family, partnered with Rebuilding Together Greater Dallas and Homes 4 Heroes. They are slated to receive four pillows, a queen mattress and foundation and two twin XL mattresses and foundations for both her daughters.
Dwell with Dignity provides and installs home interiors for families that include furnishings and art, bedding, kitchen and food supplies. Dwell believes exposing children to a nurturing home environment can inspire a standard of living that will carry-on to future generations. Similarly, exposing parents to the same environment allows them the inspiration to maintain a standard of living they can be proud of and thrive in.
“We are thrilled to announce our donation and the beginning of this relationship. Affording those who are struggling with homelessness and poverty the opportunity to experience peace of mind with our innovative sleep solutions every night is extremely rewarding,” said Stowe. “Together, we are striving to ease economic hardships in the homes of those that need inspiration to keep going.”
