MLILY USA proudly supports veterans in its recent contributions to the 2024 ART Conference held earlier this month. This year’s community service project was dedicated to enhancing the living conditions for homeless veterans served by Volunteers of America Southeast Louisiana Veterans Services program.
The program provides transitional housing and rehabilitation services for homeless male veterans. MLILY delivered 60 mattresses to the program at their Napoleon Avenue and Pitt Street Veterans facilities in New Orleans. The donated hybrid mattresses from the company’s best-selling core bedding products provide supportive and restorative sleep, essential for the veterans’ rehabilitation and well-being.
"It is our honor to support American veterans through this initiative and provide essential comfort in a way that can profoundly improve their sleeping and waking lives," said Kyle Robertson, COO for MLILY. "Giving back to the communities in which we work and live is one of our core values and deeply ingrained in our company culture."
The ART conference volunteers will focus on refurbishing the living quarters and communal outdoor areas of the two facilities, ensuring that the veterans enjoy a comfortable and supportive environment. The donation by MLILY USA will replace older bedding materials and upgrade the living conditions, directly impacting the daily life of many U.S. veterans.
This significant contribution was MLILY’s first involvement in the ART community service projects, an engagement made possible through its longtime leasing partner ANDMORE. MLILY USA is committed to continuing its support for community initiatives like ART and its recently extended partnership with Special Spaces, a non-profit organization that creates dream bedroom makeovers for children with cancer.
