Rooms to Go Donates Thousands of Rooms of Furniture to Orlando Hurricane Victims.

National Furniture Bank Association (NFBA)

WHAT:
        Regional retailer to make delivery of new, donated home
        furnishings to Orlando furniture bank serving thousands of
        Hurricane Katrina victims.

        Rooms To Go is donating 4,000 rooms of furniture, largely
        through the non-profit National Furniture Bank Association
        (NFBA) to five regional furniture banks serving the needs of
        families affected by Hurricane Katrina. A truck filled with
        hundreds of pieces of furniture will arrive at Orlando's
        Mustard Seed of Central Florida furniture bank and will be
        greeted by representatives from Rooms To Go and the NFBA.

        As Gulf Coast hurricane evacuees face the challenges of
        setting up homes in towns and cities new to them,
        organizations such as Rooms To Go and NFBA are alleviating the
        pressure by providing essential home furnishings. No child in
        America should have to sleep on the floor.

WHO:
    --  Representatives from Rooms To Go, America's largest home
        furnishings retailer and the National Furniture Bank
        Association, a unified charitable organization of the home
        furnishings industry.

    --  Staff from the Mustard Seed of Central Florida, an
        Orlando-based furniture bank, distributing essential home
        furnishings to people in need.

    --  Families that have benefited from this in-kind donation.
