Mattress Mack, Spring Fire Department sending toys to Kentucky kids impacted by tornadoes
The Spring Fire Department collected them in its Toys for Tots program and gave the extras to Mack to send to Kentucky families.
HOUSTON — It’s going to be a rough Christmas for kids in Kentucky impacted by tornadoes that caused catastrophic damage in some communities.
That’s why the Spring Fire Department decided to give hundreds of toys donated to its Toys for Tots to those children. The community came through with so many toys that they ended up with more than needed.
“Spring’s love is now on its way to the tornado victims in Kentucky with the blessing of #toysfortots,” the fire department tweeted.
They delivered the toys to Mattress Mack and Gallery Furniture on Tuesday because he has already begun organizing relief efforts to help Kentuckians.
Mack and Gallery Furniture also surprised nonprofit Buckner International with a special delivery Tuesday. They donated 2,000 pounds — or one ton — of clothing for children and adults.
Buckner will offer the clothes to families served by its two Houston-area Buckner Family Hope Centers in Aldine and South Houston.
Buckner is also giving a portion of the clothes to the Star of Hope Mission.
“This is a wonderful holiday surprise from Gallery Furniture and Mattress Mack that will bring hope to so many families in the Houston area,” said Dior Burns, executive director for Buckner in Houston.
