Hope to Dream, a non-profit organization, provided nearly 14,000 children with complete bed sets in 2024 through its network of community partnerships and events. Each child received a twin mattress, bed frame, bedding, and pillow. Since its establishment in 2010, Hope to Dream has donated more than 180,000 beds to children in need across the U.S. and Canada.

The program operates with support from fundraising efforts and donations, with every mattress purchased at over 725 participating Ashley stores contributing to the mission. Looking ahead, Hope to Dream aims to donate 15,000 beds in 2025 as it prepares to celebrate its 15th anniversary.

In response to natural disasters in 2024, Hope to Dream partnered with Metropolitan Ministries to assist families affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton on Florida’s Gulf Coast. This collaboration provided vital support to children and families during a time of crisis and aligned with Metropolitan Ministries’ broader mission of helping at-risk families.

“This partnership with Hope to Dream exemplifies the power of unity in addressing the needs of families facing crisis," said Tim Marks, President and CEO of Metropolitan Ministries. "Thanks to their extraordinary generosity and dedication, we've been able to provide not just beds, but a renewed sense of hope to children who have endured unimaginable hardships. Together, we are helping families rebuild their lives and ensuring that every child has a safe and nurturing place to dream.”

"The power of a good night's sleep cannot be underestimated in a child's development and well-being," said Ruthie Bautista, Vice President of Hope to Dream. "Through the generous support of our retail partners, volunteers, and charitable organizations, we've been able to make a significant impact in communities nationwide. As we prepare to celebrate our 15th anniversary in 2025, we're energized by the opportunity to expand our reach and touch even more lives. This milestone year represents not just our history of giving, but our renewed commitment to ensuring every child has a proper place to dream."

Children receiving beds are nominated through a process involving school districts and charitable organizations, ensuring the program reaches those in greatest need.
