Ashley Furniture helps kids

Ashley Furniture HomeStores, based in Arcadia, Wis., is extending its “A Hope to Dream” program, which provides new Ashley Sleep mattress sets to needy children. Since the program began in 2010, Ashley has made a $5 donation for every mattress purchased by customers at participating locations. The money goes toward purchasing new beds for children who are nominated by local community members. Thus far, the company has contributed 183 beds. The next round of beds will be awarded the first week of April.
