All 20 Mattress Firm stores in the Metro Richmond region are hosting a toy drive for Mattress Firm’s Foster Kids initiative, which benefits local foster children and families. Through Sunday, Dec. 17 during normal store hours, Mattress Firm will accept new and unwrapped toys and monetary contributions to spread holiday cheer for foster children and families in need. All proceeds will be donated to The UP Center at the end of drive. Mattress Firm Foster Kids, a program of The Ticket to Dream Foundation, hosts six donation drives per year to collect essential items and raise funds to help thousands of local foster children. Donations from each drive are distributed to local nonprofit partner organizations. For details, visit www.MattressFirmFosterKids.org.
