<p>At Bob’s Discount Furniture, Random Acts of Kindness Day isn’t just a feel-good moment or a one-day celebration — kindness is our culture! From presenting Random Acts of Kindness donations at every store grand opening, to celebrating the holidays with donations to charitable organizations nominated by guests and employees, to special campaigns supporting our partners, Bob’s small acts of kindness have a big impact on the communities we serve.</p>

<p>When Bob’s opens a new store, the celebration goes beyond ribbon cuttings — in fact the core of every store opening is about supporting organizations that serve the local communities where we do business.</p>
<p> At every grand opening, Bob’s awards two $2,500 Random Acts of Kindness donations: one to a nonprofit and one to a local school. These contributions support organizations that strengthen the community and help ensure students and neighbors have the resources they need to thrive.</p>
<p>This year alone, Bob’s will give more than $100,000 in RAK donations tied to new store openings, reinforcing that community support is just as important to helping guests turn the places they live into home that they love.</p>

<p>Whether it’s helping educational initiatives, or nonprofit organizations, Bob’s knows every new store we open is an opportunity to leave a positive footprint.</p>

<p>Each holiday season, Bob’s has a tradition of generosity with the <em>12 Days of Giving</em> program, where customers and guests nominate nonprofits to receive support. For several years, Bob’s has awarded twelve $1,000 donations to local nonprofits nominated by their guests and employees.</p>
<p>Since the program began, Bob’s has awarded over $100,000 to nonprofits that matter most to employees and guests!</p>

<p>Bob’s Random Acts of Kindness has also extended to support charitable and sports partners. Last year, Bob’s was thrilled to give $11,000 in Random Acts of Kindness donations to the United Services Organization (USO), as part of its <em>Heroes at Home</em> campaign in collaboration with Joe Gibbs Racing. The campaign recognized Hometown Heroes and underscores Bob’s commitment to honoring and supporting those who serve with generosity and gratitude.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>World Kindness Day: Amplifying Kindness</strong></h2>

<p>Bob’s loves to amplify kindness any chance we can, and World Kindness Day has been the perfect occasion to showcase the many ways Bob’s employees care about each other and our guests! This past year On World Kindness Day (November 13), Bob’s teams across the country built on their culture of generosity with joyful surprises and gratitude-filled interactions.</p>
<p>Here’s how Bob’s made the day extra special:</p>
<p><strong>Spreading Joy in Stores</strong></p>

<p>These acts show that kindness isn’t just an annual event for Bob’s — it’s a lived value, shared with customers, employees, and communities alike.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Culture That Keeps Giving</strong></h2>
<p>From grand openings to holiday traditions, community partnerships, and global celebration days like World Kindness Day, Bob’s Discount Furniture exemplifies what it means to build kindness into the fabric of an organization. Our philanthropic programs — including ongoing Random Acts of Kindness donations — reflect a commitment to community!</p>

Upon hearing the news, Stephen called his wife Sally and asked her to tell his brothers he would catch up with them later. He returned to Squad 1 to get his gear. Stephen drove his truck to the entrance of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, but it had already been closed for security purposes. Determined to carry out his duty, he strapped 60 lbs. of gear to his back and raced on foot through the tunnel to the Twin Towers, where he gave up his life while saving others.

<p>With the opening of each Bob’s store, the Community Outreach team has the honor of giving one local school a $2,500 Random Act of Kindness donation. This year we’re thrilled to contribute nearly $50,000 to schools through these donations.</p><p>Our store teams have had the privilege of hosting local school representatives as our guests at our Grand Opening celebrations to receive the donations and to share about their school programs.</p><p>“When we open a new store, we’re not only providing a place to help make your house a home, but we’re also grateful to join the local community and support our guests in ways that matter the most to them from donating to local schools to supporting worthy nonprofits,” said Lindsay Ruszczyk, Director of Communications and Community Outreach.</p> </div>

Bob’s also contributed a $1,000 donation to the Salvation Army as part of the contribution. </p><p>“It was such a fun and collaborative effort to work with our home office team to collect supplies and it was incredibly meaningful to represent Bob’s to deliver the supplies for the Stuff the Bus event,” said Samantha. “I love that Bob’s is invested in supporting students and helping them to start the school year off prepared.”</p> </div>

<p>In honor of National Rescue Dog Day, Bob’s contributed a Random Act of Kindness donation to support the <a href="https://www.valleyshoreanimalwelfareleague.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Valley Shore Animal Welfare League</a> near the brand’s New London, Connecticut store.</p><p>This donation was inspired by a grassroots fundraiser held by the Bob’s New London store team during the 2023 holiday season.</p><p>Store manager, Heather Petrarca, said the store location has been fundraising for various charities every year. “As a team, we voted to determine what type of charitable giving we were going to do in 2023 and the animal shelter won the vote,” she explained. “Everyone gave what they could. We ended up having enough to purchase the most expensive item on the shelter’s wish list, which was an outdoor kennel.”</p><p>“I am always so moved to learn about acts like this,” said Bob’s Discount Furniture Regional Manager, Melissa Ortins. “One of Bob’s core values is giving back to the community so I am not surprised to know the store team did this but I am certainly inspired by their commitment to others, especially animals in need.”</p> </div>

<p>Shelter Director Delilah Lord expressed her gratitude for the outdoor kennel and additional donation. “We were surprised last year when we got the call, and we really needed it and I was just over the moon,” she said.</p><p>Delilah noted that the Valley Shore Animal Welfare League has housed as many as 20 dogs at a time, many with medical bills in addition to basic care needs. For example, Charlie, an eight-year-old rescue, has been at the shelter more than a year and has needed more than $3,000 in medical care.</p><p>In addition to the contributions to the Valley Shore Animal Welfare League, Bob’s donated sofas to <a href="https://packleadersrescue.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pack Leaders Rescue of Connecticut</a> as well as contributed <a href="https://blog.mybobs.com/holiday-giving-with-bobs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Random Acts of Kindness</a> donations of $2,500 each to Hearts of Hope Dog Rescue in Michigan, PALS Animal Shelter in Missouri, and Fancy Cats & Dogs Rescue Team in Indiana.</p> </div>

<p>The communities around our stores and distribution centers have always extended such a warm welcome to my Bob’s associates, which is why we love to show our support right back to them.</p>
<p>In the past three years, Bob’s Discount Furniture’s Community Outreach team has surprised schools and community organizations with over <em><u>a quarter of a million dollars</u></em> through our Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) donation program! That’s HUGE…and so are the checks, which is why I usually ask our store teams to help me out with the check presentations.</p>

<p>This year, <a href="https://www.randomactsofkindness.org/">National Random Acts of Kindness Day</a> falls on Friday, February 17, which happens to be when we open our first new Bob’s store of 2023 in Lawrence, NY. And as I always do, I’ve invited a school and community organization to each receive a $2,500 RAK donation at our Grand Opening. </p>
<p>But we don’t just stop at one day of celebrating. We celebrate Random Acts of Kindness all year long. (I’m totally that friend that celebrates their birthday for a full month!). During 2022, we planned over $75,000 in RAK donations around our Grand Openings, <a href="https://blog.mybobs.com/12daysgiving22/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Days of Giving</a> initiative, and more.</p>
<p>We recently met up with Scott Neely, Director of Development for nonprofit <a href="https://www.rodmanforkids.org/"><em>Rodman for Kids</em></a><em>,</em> to discuss how he felt about receiving a Random Act of Kindness from Bob’s at our Franklin, MA opening.</p>

<p>“We pride ourselves in being a good corporate partner in all the communities we serve,” said Lindsay Ruszczyk, Bob’s Director of Community Outreach. “Surprising local schools and community organizations with Random Acts of Kindness checks is just one of the many ways that we support our local communities.”</p>
