Community Outreach
When I opened our first Mattress Warehouse in the Charleston, WV area in 1983, commitment to the communities in which we operate was a top priority. It has always been an important part of our philosophy to give back and support organizations important to our employees, their families, and our customers.
As we’ve grown, we’ve narrowed our focus a little, but I’m proud to say we donate tens of thousands of dollars each year across our company’s footprint, with a combination of product and cash donations.
Causes we’re passionate about include:
- Susan G. Komen for the Cure / breast cancer awareness
- Active and Healthy Lifestyles; and
- Women-Owned Businesses / Entrepreneurism.
If your organization fits into one of our three category areas, please utilize the online donation request form, and we will respond as quickly as possible.
Warmest regards,
Kimberly Brown Knopf, Owner & CEO
