Heart + Service = A Winning Combination - Bedzzz Express

MUCH MORE THAN A MATTRESS

Excerpt from Heart+Service by Nicole Walker of Alabama Baptist Children's Homes

Bedzzz Express has been a long-time supporter of Alabama Baptist Children's Homes. Most recently, their kindness was extended to our moms and children being served in Family Care in Mobile at the newly opened Grace’s House of Hope.

A few years ago, we were wonderfully blessed when Bedzzz Express donated several Tempur-Pedic mattresses to our Campus Care homes across the state. When we began to expand our Family Care ministry in Mobile last year, Josh reached out to Steve Greene with a local Bedzzz Express store about partnering with us at Grace’s House of Hope.

 “Josh shared with us about the new house being built and how it was going to serve the community,” said Steve, when he first heard of the project. “It was a project that we got really excited about and something we felt could help make a difference in people’s lives.” Although Steve wasn’t sure what that partnership would look like, he knew this was something the company could rally around.

 At first, Steve thought they may be able to provide a discount for any mattresses and box springs we would purchase, but he decided to see if there were other ways they could help. He reached out to one of their key vendors, Park Place, who makes their private label beds called Bedzzz by Order Rest. They were able to provide the mattresses and box springs at no cost to us, which would have been a $10,000 expense. Not only that, they went above and beyond by delivering the mattresses and box springs, as well as setting everything up for the first mothers and children to stay at Grace’s House of Hope!

 “We wanted to help save the Children’s Homes the time of choosing the right mattresses, picking them up, and setting everything up,” said Steve. “Our mission as a business is to be good citizens and serve our communities, and I’m glad we were able to do so.”
