Giving Back To The Community!
Ashley HomeStore hosted its eleventh annual event Ashley for the Arts, a three-day music and arts festival, in Arcadia, Wisconsin. The event was created to give back to the arts and celebrate and raise money for charitable organizations and school districts in the area.
On August 8th, 60 children were invited to the Ritz Theatre and Museum to tour the building’s history and enjoy a private screening of Disney’s “Finding Nemo.” The kids were also able to fill gift bags with back to school necessities like notebooks, calculators, and crayons. After, they were all surprised with new beds for their families to take home.
A new Ashley HomeStore in the Bronx brought the beauty and culture of the borough’s exterior inside with graffiti. Prominent graffiti artist KEO, a local favorite in New York, gave the HomeStore entrance the ultimate dress-up – and we’re excited to share it with all of you!
Making positive changes in the community is all about giving back – and we’re proud to support an organization that constantly makes an impact on families and their children. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and their mission statement, Finding cures. Saving children.®, has been a resounding beacon of hope for families across the country since opening its doors in 1962.
A good night’s sleep changes a child’s life forever–or in this case, the lives of 100 children. On June 21st, Hope to Dream hosted its third annual sleepover in partnership with the Miami Dolphins where 100 children received new mattresses and bedding sets.
Since its inception in 2010, Hope to Dream has not only gifted 80,000 twin beds, but bed frames, bedding and pillows to children in North America who are underprivileged and don’t have a place of their own to sleep.
Home isn’t just a place to sleep, it’s where lifelong memories are made. We partnered with A Sense of Home and the Stauffer Family with the mission to give Janay and Noelle, a young mom and her daughter, one of the greatest treasures in life: a place to call home.
Not everyone is fortunate enough to know where their next meal is coming from, which is why now is a great opportunity to give back, and help families who are struggling this time of year. However, you may not know where to donate, or what the best thing TO donate is. Well worry not—we’ve got you covered with plenty of resources and tips.
The first Friday of October is World Smile Day. Try out these random acts to be reminded to do kind things and try to make someone else happy.
Music, art and good times were afoot this past weekend in Arcadia, Wisconsin – the birthplace of Ashley HomeStore – during Ashley for the Arts! Over 50,000 people enjoyed performances from dancers, acrobats, marching bands and some of today’s top musical artists, including American Authors, Kelly Pickler, High Valley, LOCASH and X Ambassadors.
