<p>On this Veterans Day, Bob’s is honored to share several different ways we have answered the call to support those who have served our country.</p><p>Bob’s is thrilled to continue a longstanding partnership with Operation Homefront, supporting military families, as well as supporting new organizations like <a href="https://k9sforwarriors.org/">K9s For Warriors</a> – the nation’s leading provider of trained Service Dogs to military veterans suffering from PTSD and other invisible wounds of war. </p><p>Bob’s is also proud to support organizations helping veterans near our Bob’s locations, through our Random Acts of Kindness donations.</p><p>We are grateful to the many non-profits who have given Bob’s the opportunity to give back to our nation’s military heroes and we continue to share thanks to these service members for their sacrifices.</p><p>“I am inspired by the work our partners are doing to support our nation’s military members,” said Bob’s President & CEO, Bill Barton. “We are honored to contribute to these organizations who are providing active and veteran members of the military access to affordable housing, support services, and so much more.”</p> </div>

<p>This month, Bob’s delivered 12 new queen mattresses to help furnish temporary accommodations for veterans in the K9s For Warriors program.</p><p>Determined to end veteran suicide, K9s For Warriors provides highly-trained service dogs to military veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury and/or military sexual trauma at no cost to the veteran. </p><p>The veterans in the program live onsite at one of K9s For Warriors’ campuses in Florida or Texas for 21 days while they learn how to use and live with their new battle buddies. </p><p>“Being able to provide these mattresses for veterans in this unique program was a first for Bob’s but also a great match,” said Lindsay Ruszczyk, Communications and Community Outreach Director. “We are incredibly impressed by the service K9s For Warriors provides to veterans and we’re thrilled that we could offer comfort for those going through this program by supplying these mattresses.”</p> </div>

<p>Since launching in 2011, K9s For Warriors has paired more than 1,000 veterans with life-changing service dogs across the nation. The program is offered at no cost to the veterans. Many of the dogs in the program are rescued, meaning both the veteran and dog get a second chance. </p><p>“K9s For Warriors is extremely grateful to Bob’s Discount Furniture for its generous donation of new mattresses for our veterans,” said Lindsay Grayson, Chief Revenue Officer at K9s For Warriors. “Our Warriors spend nearly three weeks on campus during the residential training program, so it’s important for them to feel at home while getting to know their new Service Dogs. We take pride in providing our Veterans and Service Dogs with a comfortable environment during their stay at K9s and that wouldn’t be possible without Bob’s support.” </p> </div>

<p>The community of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin continues to rally together to support the families who lost their homes in two separate structure fires over the last two months.</p>
<p>The first incident occurred on March 5th at an apartment complex at 109 Knaup Drive. Lee Smith, Captain of the Beaver Dam Fire and Rescue Department, said an explosion in one of the apartments resulted in the 17 unit apartment complex building being destroyed. A total of 15 households were affected by this incident, including approximately 20 adults and seven children ranging in age from 11 months to 11 years old. </p>
<p>Fire officials deemed the building a total loss and a controlled burn was executed on March 15 to destroy the remaining structure. </p>
<p>The second fire occurred on April 7 at a separate 17 unit apartment complex, just a few miles from the first fire. Capt. Smith said this structure was completely destroyed by fire. Two fatalities were reported. </p>
<p>Both fires left approximately 30 households with nothing.</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“These folks had absolutely no opportunity to get anything,” said Captain Smith. “A lot of them are lucky to get out with what they did.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Capt. Smith worked both the scenes and has been assisting the families with securing new housing and basic necessities. He said the support and outpouring from the immediate Beaver Dam community and surrounding communities has been “tremendous.”</p>
<p>“It really helps these people,” said Capt. Smith. “They can’t say enough. It’s helping them get back on their feet and move forward slowly, one step at a time.”</p>
<p><a href="https://blog.mybobs.com?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=BeaverDamFire&utm_content=Bobshyperlink" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">Bob’s Discount Furniture</a> is helping the displaced residents move forward by presenting each household with a $500 gift card that they can use to purchase new bed, bedroom set, mattress, dining room table or whatever they need. </p>
<p>Capt. Smith has personally notified each family about the gift card and the opportunity to go shopping for new furniture. “You can hear it in their voices,” said Capt. Smith. “They tremendously appreciate it. You hear tears of joy and sadness.”</p>
<p>Bob’s Discount Furniture places an emphasis on family values and assisting the local communities within their footprint as much as possible. <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Bob’s Discount Furniture Charitable Foundation (opens in a new tab)" href="https://bobscares.org?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=BeaverDamFire&utm_content=Bobscareshyperlink" target="_blank">Bob’s Discount Furniture Charitable Foundation</a> and <a href="https://blog.mybobs.com/bobs-outreach?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=BeaverDamFire&utm_content=Outreachhyperlink" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Bob’s Outreach (opens in a new tab)">Bob’s Outreach</a> provide aid and donations to hundreds of organizations and individuals with over 2.75 million dollars in gift certificates and monetary donations distributed each year to social service agencies, charities, group homes and community fundraisers, children’s charities, schools and community service groups.</p>
