Family Promise and The Company Store Provide Comfort to Homeless Children

Denise & Dennis receive comforters in Las Vegas.
Family Promise and The Company Store, which has offered top quality pillows and comforters, sheets, towels, and home accessories since 1911, have partnered on the Buy One, Give One Comforter Donation Program to benefit homeless children across the country.

The Company Store has chosen Family Promise along with several other national non-profits to work with on the program. For the duration of the initiative, The Company Store will donate a new comforter to a homeless child with every comforter purchased from their web site or catalog. Family Promise is pleased to have been selected and is grateful to have received 3,000 new comforters to distribute among our affiliates nationwide—from Houston, to Burbank, to Boston, to Atlanta.

Thanks to The Company Store from Bozeman, MT.
Karen Olson, President of Family Promise, said, “We are so thankful for The Company Store’s generous offer to work with Family Promise on this welcome initiative. Not only will this benefit children as they seek shelter in our program and beyond, but it will also help to raise awareness of this national crisis. These comforters truly are wonderful gifts to families in need.”

Homeless families are now the fastest growing segment of the homeless population. Of the 3.5 million Americans that will be homeless at some point this year, 1.5 million of them will be families, with 60% being children. 1 in 50 children are homeless, their health and well-being jeopardized on a daily basis.

Family Promise Salt Lake thanks The Company Store.
“We’re pleased to partner with charities nationwide on such a vital initiative,” said Dennis Warner, Chief Marketing Officer of The Company Store. “There are a significant number of homeless children in this country who do not sleep in their own home, in their own bedroom. The Company Store is committed to bringing some comfort to these children in need. We hope that the donated comforters will raise the spirits of thousands of children and their families as they work to rebuild their lives.”
