Backed by three decades of experience in the furniture and bedding industry, GBS Enterprises offers products ranging from pillows, sheets, and other bedding items to protection plans for mattresses and furniture. In addition to manufacturing and distributing various bedding products, GBS Enterprises gives back to the community by supporting over a dozen nonprofit groups, including Hope to Dream.
Founded by Ashley Furniture in 2010, Hope to Dream gives beds to children from disadvantaged backgrounds. In addition to supplying recipients with mattresses, the program provides new bed frames and bedclothes so that children living in poverty or overcoming homelessness can get a good night’s sleep in a bed of their own.
Open to children aged 3 to 16 who don’t have beds, Hope to Dream is supported by Ashley HomeStores and partner organizations throughout the country. Support and funds for the program are raised through community events held in conjunction with professional sports teams and nonprofit groups such as the United Way and Big Brothers Big Sisters.
In December 2017, Hope to Dream announced that it has distributed more than 50,000 beds to children in need. The program hopes to donate 15,000 more by the end of 2018. For more information, visit www.ashleyfurniturehomestore.com/a-hope-to-dream.
