American Signature Inc. donates beds, couches and dining room set.
Through The Salvation Army, American Signature Furniture’s Million Dollar Furniture campaign recently gave Tashawna Varner of Akron, Ohio, the furniture her family needs to feel at home.
Once a victim of domestic abuse and now a single mother of two children, Varner has faced emotional and financial obstacles in the last few years.
In need of shelter, the family turned to The Salvation Army for temporary protection until the Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) of Cleveland provided the family a transitional living residence. It wasn’t until Varner requested food from The Salvation Army that a caseworker learned the family had been sleeping on blankets on the wood floor.
The case worker helped the family apply for furniture from American Signature Inc. (ASI), the parent company of Value City Furniture stores, which donated new beds, couches and a dining room set for the family.
