Banner Mattress has got us covered!

 

          TOLEDO(Ohio)- Banner Mattress and Furniture is donating 312 mattress covers to Cherry Street Mission Ministries at 3:30pmtoday.  As reported earlier this year, Cherry Street Mission Ministries is battling a case of bed bugs, just as many hotels and residences are.

 

Bed bugs most commonly attach to luggage, backpacks, clothing, beds and furniture—and as Cherry Street provides shelter to hundreds of men and  women who would otherwise be on the streets, a battle with bed bugs is a probable fight they are willing to take on.

 

Banner Mattress heard of Cherry Street’s dilemma— and as they have many times in the past, they offered to donate the solution.  “It is the belief and practice of Banner Mattress to give back to the community who has supported us for over seven decades,” quoted Bard Strand of Banner Mattress, “We are happy to give back and believe this will help curb the bed bug issue.”

The mattress covers are specifically designed to seal the mattress and keep bed bugs away. The donation of mattress covers will be enough for all of Cherry Street’s beds.

 

“We are so very grateful for the continued partnership with Banner Mattress and their generosity towards Cherry Street. This is one of many instances that this home-town company has reached out to its local community. It is times like this, when our community inspires us to continue our work at curb level” Dan Rogers, President and CEO of Cherry Street Mission Ministries.
