<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>

<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>Since 2017, <a href="https://blackwomenbuild.org/">Black Women Build – Baltimore</a> has been transforming neighborhoods by offering women a pathway to homeownership, teaching trade skills, providing education, and building strong communities.</p>
<p>Founded by Shelley Halstead, Black Women Build – Baltimore has purchased, restored, and sold, more than one dozen homes in the West Baltimore area to Black women. As a homeownership and wealth-building initiative, Black Women Build – Baltimore trains Black women in trades-related skills by restoring vacant and deteriorated houses, subsequently transforming lives and communities. Halstead, a contractor, and lawyer, has plans to rehab 25 more homes in the area in the near future.</p>
<p>In recognition of Black History Month, Bob’s Discount Furniture is honored to support Black Women Build – Baltimore through their Diversity, Equality, Inclusion, and Belonging Employee Resource Group.</p>
<p>“Bob’s is committed to helping the local communities where we do business and we’re so impressed by the work Shelley and her team are completing through Black Women Build – Baltimore,” said Erica Bishop, DEIB & Human Resources Manager, Bob’s Discount Furniture. “With every home restored, we know one more family is finding a pathway to homeownership and empowerment. We can’t wait to see how much further Black Women Build – Baltimore will grow.”</p>

<p>Halstead’s mission is to help Black women build intergenerational wealth and maintain that wealth. One way she believes this can be achieved is through homeownership and acquiring skills to maintain that asset. Women who are accepted into the Black Women Build – Baltimore program must choose one of two paths to homeownership. The first path, Pre-Apprenticeship, offers homebuyers trade skills training and a stipend to build skills while completing their home renovation. The second path, Community-Focused, is geared to women with existing careers and encourages education to enrich communities.</p>

<p>Bob’s Community Outreach Team would like to extend a warm thank you to everyone who took the time to submit a charity to be considered for our <strong><em>12 Days of Giving Campaign</em></strong><em>. </em>We called for submissions from Bob’s employees, customers and social media followers, and received nominations for fantastic nonprofits and charities across a wide range of great causes and geographies. </p>
<p>Our team thoroughly enjoyed reading the submissions we received, and for the fifth consecutive year, we continue to be extremely impressed by the inspiring work done across communities where we do business. While it was nearly an impossible task, our team narrowed down the submissions to 12 worthy organizations to receive a <strong>$1,000 Random Act of Kindness (RAK) </strong>donation bringing our all-time holiday giving over $75,000! </p>
<p>The entire team at Bob’s wishes you a happy and healthy Holiday season! </p>

<p>Having access to your home should be simple but for those with limited mobility, even a few stairs can pose a seemingly insurmountable challenge.</p>
<p>This July, in celebration of Disability Pride Month, Bob’s is supporting <a href="https://operationrampitup.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Operation Ramp It Up</a>, an Ohio-based organization that provides ramps for military members and anyone in need.</p>
<p>Bob’s presented a $2,500 Random Act of Kindness donation, which helped support a ramp build for veteran, Rainer Hartmann, who was diagnosed with ALS last March. Hartmann’s ramp was constructed in late July offering him full access to his Cincinnati, Ohio home.</p>

</div>
<p>“We like to give back to veterans and those with mobility issues by providing freedom, independence and accessibility,” commented Operation Ramp It Up CEO, Greg Schneider. “This will help them regain their freedom and independence to enter and exit their homes.”</p>
<p>Hartmann also received an extra perk during his ramp build when<a href="https://www.fccincinnati.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> FC Cincinnati</a> professional soccer player, Jimmy McLaughlin, showed up to help. Hartmann is a huge fan of the American professional soccer club and gladly accepted an autographed ball.</p>

<p>Bob’s representatives were able to attend the ramp build and present the donation on behalf of the Bob’s Community Outreach team and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Resource Group.</p>
<p>“Showing support for Disability Pride Month by partnering with Operation Ramp It Up is a perfect partnership,” said Bob’s DEI Manager Erica Bishop. “We are honored to support an organization that knows the value of having access to your home, especially during challenging times.”</p>

<p>Operation Ramp It Up was founded in 2014 by Schneider, a longtime UPS driver. As of this August, Operation Ramp It Up has installed more than 250 ramps in all 50 U.S. states.</p>
<p>Founded as an organization to support veterans and their families, Schneider said Operation Ramp It Up now supplies ramps for anyone in need. Schneider noted the organization will construct a ramp for a four-year-old boy with multiple disabilities later this summer. </p>

<p>Each aluminum ramp can cost between $2,500 and $15,000, shared Schneider, adding that ramps are often re-used making the projects sustainable.</p>
<p>With every ramp built, Schneider said he hopes to enrich the lives of recipients giving them full access to their homes.</p>
