(CSRwire) DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 27, 2006--Denver Mattress Company and CW2 will help make Colorado a warmer place this holiday season for those in need. The fifth annual "Share the Warmth" winter coat and apparel drive collected over 3,800 coats for Coloradoans. This was double the amount from the previous year. Over the past five years, the campaign has collected over 15,600 coats for the community.

Coat donations were collected at 16 Colorado Denver Mattress Company stores for four weeks. A $20 off Dr. Choice Mattress coupon was given to those who donated.

All coats and winter apparel were forwarded to Energy Outreach Colorado to be distributed by the following charitable agencies to help those in need. These agencies included: The Aurora Center, ACS LIFT, Inter Faith, Community Services, Jeffco Action Center, Empowerment, The Denver Chapter of the Salvation Army, Broadway Assistance Center, and Aurora Inter-Church Task Force.

"We really appreciate everyone who took the time to donate coats for this important effort," said Jennie Miller of Energy Outreach Colorado. "There are literally hundreds of children, working people and seniors who suffer through the winter months without a warm coat, and these donations will make a world of difference to them."
