Good360, a global leader in product philanthropy and purposeful giving, has partnered with Serta Simmons Bedding LLC to provide critically needed mattresses to those impacted by the recent tornado outbreak in the company’s home state of Georgia.

The leading national bedding company has committed to deliver three semi-truckloads (equivalent to hundreds of mattresses) to serve those impacted by the tornadoes in Albany, Georgia. The Albany area was among the hardest hit with hundreds displaced from their homes, many having lost everything. The mattresses will be delivered during the recovery stage as families are able to return to or rebuild their homes – Good360 and Serta Simmons Bedding will jointly manage the donation so that local nonprofits doing recovery work on the ground have access to the mattresses when they are needed.

“Albany is less than 200 miles from our headquarters in Atlanta and we empathize with those who are now rebuilding after this devastating disaster,” said Paul Dascoli, SSB chief financial officer and head of the company’s philanthropic efforts. “We are pleased to participate in these recovery efforts, as it is part of our corporate ethic to support our local communities.”

“Through our DisasterRecovery360 initiative, Good360’s core focus is to ensure that we get the right goods to the right people at the right time throughout all stages of the recovery process,” added Richard Barney, EVP of Partnerships for Good360. “Our partnerships with local nonprofits serving the community and with corporations like Serta Simmons Bedding make it possible for us to move product to where it is needed most.”

Good360 is an innovative leader in the distribution of donated and excess goods and in disaster recovery, leveraging technology and expertise to provide hope and relief to people in need. The organization is currently engaged in disaster recovery efforts in Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, West Virginia among others.
