HOUSTON, Dec. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing its
mission of positively impacting the communities it serves, Conn's
HomePlus (NASDAQ: CONN) through its charitable initiative, Conn's
Cares, has donated more than $6,000
in brand name goods for the home to a wounded veteran through a
partnership with Helping a Hero.
"Conn's HomePlus believes in giving back to the communities we
serve, and the Conn's Cares program provides a platform to make a
difference by honoring deserving people through organizations like
Helping a Hero," said Chandra Holt,
Conn's HomePlus President and CEO. "We wanted to show our support
for veterans and their families and are honored to be able to do
that through donations like this one, especially during the holiday
season."
Helping a Hero is a nonprofit that builds homes for
military and first responders injured in the line of duty. Their
mission is to empower our severely wounded heroes injured in the
Post 9-11 Global War on Terror, by partnering with the wounded hero
to build a specially adapted home designed to restore his/her
independence.
"Conn's has been an incredible supporter of Helping a Hero and
our wounded heroes for over a decade. We are so grateful that
they made Christmas so special for the SGT Bartel family by
donating computers and Christmas gifts," said Meredith Iler, Founder of Helping A Hero Home
program. Christine and Joe
Bartel added, "We are so thankful for the gifts and
generosity. The kids love their computers and are so excited to use
them in school."
Through initiatives facilitated via Conn's Cares,
the Conn's HomePlus philanthropic arm, $1
million in funds and products have been extended to local,
community-based, third-party charitable organizations since
2017.
