"We wish to thank Denver Mattress for their compassion and caring for the less fortunate. The gift we received from Denver Mattress will help to provide the services we offer including 150,000 prepared meals a year, 10,000 beds provided, and a very successful Christian Recovery Program which runs about 40 men at any given time. All our services are at no cost."

"On behalf of the staff, volunteers and clients of the Samaritan Community Center, we want to thank the Denver Mattress Company for its ongoing support of the Samaritan Community Center. The holiday awareness campaign sponsored by Denver Mattress Company has been a tremendous opportunity to remind the Northwest Arkansas community that poverty and homelessness does exist right here in our backyard," said Debbie Rambo, Executive Director for the Samaritan Community Center. "The generous donation from the company in addition to the many contributions we have received from individuals throughout the community in response to this awareness campaign will help fund the operations of our soup kitchen which feeds thousands of people each year. We are very thankful for the support of Denver Mattress Company and its associates."
