Grand Home Furnishings donates, delivers new mattresses To
Free Will Baptist
Family Ministries

Youth from all over the state reside at the Free Will Baptist Family Ministries’ group home for boys. Their comfort and care comes courtesy of the only service provider in Tennessee with a Level II Enhanced Alcohol & Drug program for young men. According to the state service providers ratings system, Family Ministries ranks first in placement stability, with the highest percentage of children leaving programs to live in a permanent family setting, and the highest percentage of children successfully remaining in their permanent family setting.

Now the residents can enjoy greater comfort, thanks to the donation and delivery of new bedding, courtesy of the employees of the Grand Home Furnishings stores in Johnson City and Kingsport, and the employees of the Grand Home Furnishings Warehouse in Gray, who donated and delivered and delivered 40 twin mattresses December 13.

All the Grand stores, outlets and warehouses have spent 2011 doing “Grand Gestures” in their communities to celebrate Grand’s 100th anniversary and support the Grand Happiness Foundation. And the word is out: Suzy Cloyd, director of human resources at Free Will Baptist Family Ministries, read about the foundation in the newspaper and reached out to the Grand store in her hometown of Johnson City to learn if the organization qualified for a gesture.
Store manager George Hamblen quickly enlisted his peers at the Kingsport store and Gray warehouse to ensure that Grand could meet her need for 40 twin mattresses.
“When we’re able to partner with companies like Grand, we’re able to increase the level of care and ensure the boys are coming into a quality program,” explained Cloyd. “This allows us to enhance programs, enhance our physical structure and the environment in general and allows us to give more to these boys.   “The mattress donation from Grand Happiness Foundation was a blessing to Family Ministries. George and his crew were wonderful to work with and the young men in our care appreciate your generosity.”

“As members of the community, we’re really the ones gaining from these programs,” Hamblen said. “It’s very humbling to learn about great services for our youth like Family Ministries, and be able to help ease their financial burden to make it easier for them to do their work for our kids.”
