Metro Mattress Launches 2nd Annual “50 Beds in 50 Days” Donation Program in Buffalo
Metro Mattress, upstate New York’s largest mattress retailer, has announced plans to continue its “50 Beds in 50 Days” program this year, with mattress donations to 501(c)(3) organizations in Syracuse/Southern Tier, Buffalo, Rochester, and Albany/Mohawk Valley. Metro Mattress will donate 50 beds in each designated region for a total of 200 beds to help provide people in need with a comfortable night’s sleep. This is the second year of the program, which began in 2010.
The “50 Beds in 50 Days” program provides mattresses from charitable organizations that provide services for children in need, individuals suffering abuse, those who are ill and in need of care, veterans, and people who are homeless or underserved.
The second round of the “50 Beds in 50 Days” giveaway of 2011 will take place in the Buffalo region. A short application form and more information are available at www.metromattress.com/50beds50days. Buffalo applications must be postmarked by May 26 to be eligible. Charitable organizations must be located within 30 miles of the donation area to be considered.
“Last year, Metro Mattress received more than 3,200 requests for bed donations through our ‘50 Beds in 50 Days’ program,” said David Shiroff, president and CEO of Metro Mattress. “We know the need for a safe place to sleep exists in our communities and we hope these beds will help provide that.”
In addition to the 50 beds planned for donation in Buffalo, the company, which recently donated 50 beds in the Syracuse/Southern tier region, also plans to donate 50 beds in Rochester in the fall, and 50 beds in the Albany/Mohawk Valley region at the end of this year. Metro Mattress will select the recipient(s) in each area based on the organization’s overview, mission, number of beds requested, and explanation of how the beds will be used. The company will decide by donation area if the 50 beds will be donated to one organization or divided among multiple organizations. The beds will be delivered within 50 days after the application postmark deadline or at a later date if requested by the recipient.
