<p>Supporting our communities is the heart of Bob’s business and that’s why we’re thrilled to partner with Family Promise for a third year for our Café Collections for a Cause program. Family Promise supports families experiencing homelessness by providing services at nearly 175 locations across the country.</p>
<p>From April 1 to June 30 we are inviting guests to stop in any Bob’s <a href="https://www.mybobs.com/stores">store café</a>, have a treat on us and make a donation to <a href="https://familypromise.org/">Family Promise</a>. Bob’s provides a dollar-for-dollar match up to $75,000, so the more you give, the more we give! Contributions can also be made online <a href="https://secure.qgiv.com/for/bobs/">here</a>.</p>
<p>Since partnering three years ago, Bob’s has donated over $90,000 to Family Promise.</p>

<p>Bob’s Discount Furniture recently presented over $16K to Family Promise through the Plushies for Charity program. Bob’s donated $5 from the sale of every Little Bob plushie sold in participating locations during the second part of 2025. “Every Little Bob plushie sold represents a family supported, a child given stability, and a step closer to ending family homelessness,” said Cheryl Schuch.</p>
<p>“Raising over $16,000 through plushie sales showed how collective generosity — one plushie at a time — could help families move closer to safe, stable housing, said Lindsay Ruszczyk. “We’re eager to invite guests to join us once again in supporting this worthy organization through our Café Collections for a Cause program this spring.”</p>

<p>Bob’s Discount Furniture proudly celebrated a major milestone in its partnership with Family Promise with a $16,645 donation raised through the sale of Little Bob plushies for charity. The donation was presented during the grand opening of Bob’s new store and distribution center in Solon, Ohio, marking a meaningful moment of giving back to the local community.</p>
<p>“Because of partners like Bob’s, more families are able to move from uncertainty to safe, stable housing,” said Family Promise CEO Cheryl Schuch. “Every Little Bob plushie sold represents a family supported, a child given stability, and a step closer to ending family homelessness. We’re deeply grateful for Bob’s continued commitment and for the customers who turned a simple purchase into lasting impact.”</p>
<p>The funds were raised through Bob’s Plushies for Charity program in the second half of 2025, which donated $5 from every Little Bob plushie sold at participating locations to Family Promise.</p>

<p><em>The Little Bob plushie made a BIG impact for Family Promise during the campaign. Bob Kaufman, Bob’s Founder (center, top photo) visited a Bob’s store and posed with a plushie during the campaign and pictured in the bottom photo is the Family Promise team with Little Bob.</em></p>
<p>Bob’s is grateful to every guest who purchased a Little Bob plushie, supporting families experiencing homelessness and proving that even small purchases can make a big difference.</p>
<p>The donation held special significance as the Solon location is just minutes from Family Promise of Greater Cleveland, a local affiliate Bob’s had already supported through volunteer efforts last year at the culmination of our Café Collections for a Cause program. Bob’s team members volunteered their time to help prepare back-to-school supplies for children served by Family Promise.</p>

<p><em>Bob’s presented a donation to Family Promise for $37,000 for donations collected during their Café Collections for a Cause campaign in 2025, which included a dollar-for-dollar match from Bob’s as well as packed school supplies for children served by Family Promise of Greater Cleveland.</em></p>
<p>“The Little Bob plushies for charity program allowed our customers to be part of something truly meaningful,” said Lindsay Ruszczyk, Director of Communications, PR, and Community Outreach at Bob’s Discount Furniture. “Raising over $16,000 through plushie sales showed how collective generosity — one plushie at a time — could help families move closer to safe, stable housing.”</p>
<p>The plushies program built on Bob’s ongoing partnership with Family Promise, which previously included Café Collections for Cause fundraising and hands-on volunteer events. Together, these efforts reinforced Bob’s commitment to supporting Family Promise’s mission to prevent and end family homelessness across the country.</p>
