Bob’s Discount Furniture and Bob’s Charitable Foundation Support Hunger Relief Nationwide Through Over $250K in Donations, Partnerships, and Volunteer Service

MANCHESTER, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bob’s Discount Furniture, one of the fastest growing omnichannel furniture retailers in the country, is continuing its commitment to fighting hunger through charitable donations, nonprofit partnerships and employee volunteerism. Bob’s is teaming up with Bob’s Charitable Foundation to support hunger relief organizations nationwide while helping provide meals to neighbors in need throughout the year.

With the holiday season here, Bob’s Discount Furniture Charitable Foundation disbursed 236 donation checks worth $1,000 each to hunger relief organizations nationwide near every Bob’s Discount Furniture store and distribution center.

“Bob’s Discount Furniture and its employees are proud to support food pantries in our communities,” said Bob Kaufman, Co-Founder, Bob’s Discount Furniture and President, Bob’s Charitable Foundation. “This annual Thanksgiving initiative has resulted in over $2M in donations. We know that many people struggle to feed their families, and we’re hoping these donations help provide meals to those in need this holiday season.”

Bob’s Charitable Foundation has supported hunger relief organizations for over 10 years and is proud of many longstanding relationships with community organizations devoted to eradicating hunger. One such organization is the Mid-Ohio Food Collective, which is one of Ohio’s leading hunger relief organizations.

“We are incredibly grateful for Bob’s Discount Furniture and their continued partnership,” said Craig Truax, Director of Corporate Partnerships at Mid-Ohio Food Collective (MOFC). “Their ongoing support helps us provide nourishment and hope to families across our community. Together, we are helping ensure that no one has to worry about where their next meal will come from."

As Bob’s expands into new markets, its commitment to helping neighbors meet their basic needs remains a priority. This year in Tennessee, Bob’s established a partnership with Nashville Rescue Mission, donating $15,000 to support its work providing meals, shelter and essential services to neighbors in need. Bob’s employees also volunteered at the Mission’s Linda & Mike Curb Women’s Center, serving lunch to nearly 400 guests, engaging with women and children through activities and sharing ice cream and treats. Bob’s support also includes sponsorship of Tracy Lawrence’s Mission: Possible Turkey Fry, which benefits Nashville Rescue Mission.

“Giving back is part of who we are at Bob’s, and fighting hunger is one of the many ways we support our neighbors,” said Lindsay Ruszczyk, Director of Communications and Community Outreach at Bob’s Discount Furniture. “We’re proud of our employees who volunteer their time, our customers who contribute to food drives and the nonprofit partners who work tirelessly to make sure families have food on the table. Together, we’re making a meaningful difference in the communities we serve.”
