Thank you to our guests for supporting Family Promise! Together, we were able to contribute $37,000 to help families in need through our Café Collections for a Cause program. Funds we’re raised in participating Bob’s store cafés from April 1 through June 30 and matched dollar-for-dollar by Bob’s.
“Bob’s shares a vision with our partners at Family Promise that everyone deserves a home,” said Lindsay Ruszczyk, Director of Communications, PR, and Community Outreach at Bob’s Discount Furniture. “We applaud the work Family Promise is doing through chapters nationwide to help families and children find their way from homelessness to stable futures.”
Family Promise prevents and ends homelessness for families with children and helps them achieve sustainable independence through a community-based response.
“We are deeply grateful for Bob’s continued generosity and commitment to our mission,” said Cheryl Schuch, CEO of Family Promise. “Their support will help families with children nationwide move beyond crisis and build lasting independence.”
Bob’s presented the donation to Family Promise at the Family Promise of Greater Cleveland location. In addition to making the donation, Bob’s volunteers from stores in the Cleveland area, contributed school supplies and packed backpacks for youth residents, just in time for the start of the new school year.
“Helping to pack school supplies for the youth served by Family Promise means so much to our team of volunteers,” said Adam Yagulli, Manager of Bob’s Discount Furniture. “We know how important it is for children to feel supported, especially at the start of a new school year. We’re so grateful we can give back to our communities and neighbors in need.”
Bob’s has supported Family Promise as a Café Collections for a Cause partner since 2024 and is currently fundraising for the organization through the end of the year. Five dollars from the sale of every Little Bob plushie at participating Bob’s stores will be donated to Family Promise.
