Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale is setting out to offer a solid foundation of comfort to those whose lives are dedicated to serving others. On Wednesday, beginning at 7:30 a.m., McIngvale's prominent Houston store, Gallery Furniture, will engage in an act of generosity targeted towards the city's first responders and teachers. It’s a gesture that has roots in a previous giveaway where 200 Tempur-Sealy mattresses found new homes with families impacted by a severe weather event in May, as the Houston Chronicle reported.
Coined as the "Dream Big Mattress Giveaway," this event is not the first time Mattress Mack has stepped forward to support the community. Having provided relief in tangible forms time and again. With 100 high-quality mattresses on offer for those showing up first, while supplies last, a valid ID or proof of occupation is the ticket to entry, as Click2Houston details.
According to Click2Houston, McIngvale shared his thoughts behind the giveaway, he said that "he wanted to show his gratitude to first responders and teachers for their dedicated service and to ensure they get the rest they deserve." The event location is all set to be hosted at 6006 North Freeway.
