Thank you to everyone for your support.

Our Commitment

We would not be where we are today without the support of others in our lives, so we utilize our resources to give back and help the communities around us. Our donations come in many forms and for many reasons. Although our primary focus is children, both healthy and those dealing with an illness, we try to provide assistance to as many areas as possible.

Daily Contributions

On a daily basis, gift certificates are given to various agencies to support clients with children who need some extra help in obtaining such valuable things as bedding for a good night’s rest. Additional requests are supported daily to organizations in the New England region looking for assistance with fundraisers, furnishings and program support.

Annual Sponsorships

Every year we have a foundation fundraiser supported by our many friends, allowing us to distribute significant funds to the following organizations:

We support yearly donations in the forms of a gift certificate donation to a variety of schools, communities and organizations as a fundraiser for their cause. We also promote the March Of Dimes Walk America program by providing spokespeople and commercials on both radio and television. Production and airtime are covered as well.

How to Apply for Assistance

We would like to thank you for taking the time to ask for our possible inclusion as a sponsor of your charitable efforts. With more than 1,600 employees and 29 stores in seven states we receive many requests. To ensure fairness, instead of providing sponsorships to individuals, we provide resources from our charitable foundation directly to non-profit organizations [501 (3) c] who distribute to individuals. If you are an individual or an agency representing an individual, please read this letter.

To apply for assistance from Bob's Charitable Foundation, please submit a request with specific details on the letterhead of a non-profit organization. For example, if your neighbors suffers a house fire, and you want to help them get replacement bedding for their family, please ask their Red Cross case worker to send a letter directly to us.
