In the wake of the devastation caused by Hurricanes Irma and Harvey, retailer Rooms To Go has pledged $2 million in monetary support to national and local charities and more than 2,000 rooms of furniture to hurricane victims.
The retailer has 55 stores in Florida, 30 in Texas and 4,500 employees in the two states.
“As a Florida-based company, we’ve experienced far too many hurricanes and have seen the devastation that they cause,” said Jeffrey Seaman, CEO of Rooms To Go. “We are your friends and neighbors, and are fully committed to do our share to help the victims of both storms recover.”
Volunteer Florida CEO Vivian Myrtetus said, “Volunteer Florida thanks Rooms To Go for its donation to the Florida Disaster Fund. Their generosity and support will allow us to support our disaster relief organizations and the Florida families, businesses, and communities they serve.”
