El Dorado Furniture has teamed up with non-profit organizations and local media to donate new furniture to 45 families in need. The company celebrates its 45th anniversary this June. This community effort is to show its appreciation for South Florida’s many years of support. The “45 Years, 45 Families” program starts March 15 and ends June 27.

The 45 families will be selected by the non-profit organizations and El Dorado Furniture will provide over a quarter of a million dollars in new furniture, interior design service, delivery, and set up. Pedro Capó, Vice President of Operations for the company, said, “This is a great way to celebrate our anniversary. We are very grateful to our community.” More information is available online at www.45years45families.com. The website will be updated with photos and videos as they visit each home.

This is not the first time El Dorado Furniture celebrates an anniversary with contributions to the community. In 2007 it celebrated its 40th anniversary with a similar program, “40 Years, 40 Families.”

On June 27, 1967, the Capó family opened the first El Dorado Furniture in Miami. The furniture store remains a family-owned company three generations in. There are twelve stores within Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties and it is ranked among the top 50 furniture retailers in the country. In 2010, the family patriarch and El Dorado Furniture founder, Manuel Capó was inducted into the American Furniture Hall of Fame. The company is known for its boulevard showroom concept, a truly unique furniture shopping experience.
