Mattress Donation!

On Friday, October 2 United Way of Passaic County distributed over 100 new mattresses for adults and families being served by housing programs.  The mattresses were donated by Tempur-Pedic through Gifts in Kind International and are valued at $162,380.
 
Social service agencies serving families and housing the homeless  picked up the mattresses and will be putting them into service in the homes of poor families and in housing programs located throughout Passaic County.  Recipient organizations included Jewish Family Services, Paterson YMCA, Mental Health Association, St. Joseph’s Medical Center, Workforce Investment Board, Passaic YMCA, St. Mary’s Hospital, Family Support Organization of Passaic County, and Veterans Family Housing Program. The tractor trailer loaded with mattresses arrived at St. Mary’s Hospital parking lot at 10:00 am on Friday.  Recipient agencies were on site to receive the mattresses.

A HUGE Thank you to all of our helpers and agencies for coming out and helping unload and load mattresses!
