Program Provides Nation's Largest Homeless
Women's Shelter with Comforters for Adults and Children
VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Award-winning bedding brand
Rest® is proud to announce a social impact
collaboration with Lotus House, the largest homeless women's
shelter in America. The program provides a two-pronged approach for
donating products: the first is through gently used returned
comforters, sheets and pillowcases which are geared towards adults
in the shelters, and the second focuses on children, wherein for
each kid's comforter purchased throughout the month of August,
Rest® will donate one new kid's comforter to
Lotus House. Rest® and Lotus House began
working together on a smaller scale earlier this year - with
Rest® already having donated $37,189 worth of product to Lotus House - and
this program further enhances and enshrines their already
successful relationship.
"We know how important and transformative good sleep can be, so
sharing our products was a top priority when we were looking for a
partner to collaborate with, and Lotus House has become that
serendipitous match," says Rest co-founder, Andy Nguyen. "Donating new or lightly used
comforters not only reduces waste but also repurposes the
high-quality comforters."
Rest's collaboration involves two distinct
avenues of donations. The first centers on Rest's monthly donations
of gently used return products to furnish bedding in the shelter
and to provide move-out packages for those exiting the shelters.
Prior to use, the donated products undergo rigorous quality control
to ensure they are free from tears, rips, or stains, and are
thoroughly washed and sanitized. All white and peach-colored
returned Rest® comforters, sheets, and
pillowcases are used for shelter bedding, while other colors, such
as gray or blue, are included in take-home packages for those
leaving the shelter. The second avenue is a new promotion on the
Rest® website running throughout the month
of August, that for every purchase of an
Evercool®Kids Cooling Comforter,
Rest® will donate one new comforter from the
kids' line to Lotus House.
"The brand's dedication to transforming sleep experiences by
creating purpose driven products is further elevated by their
commitment to giving back to those in our community who need it
most," says Beatrice Gonzalez,
Lotus House Director. "Rest's beautiful bedding is a reminder
for the women and children we shelter that their comfort
matters."
