“With the help of the Girl Scouts and our local communities, we have collected over 20,000 items in the drive’s first ten years, and we hope to bring warmth to more families this year and have our most successful Share the Warmth drive yet.”

DALLAS, Texas (PRWEB) October 29, 2014 -- For the 11th consecutive year, Sleep Experts will host its annual Share the Warmth drive, collecting new and gently used blankets, sheets, comforters, towels and pillows. Sleep Experts will continue its partnership with Girl Scouts for the fourth year in a row, receiving a helping hand from thousands of Girl Scouts representing the Northeast Texas (Dallas) and Texas Oklahoma Plains (Fort Worth) councils. The community also is invited to participate by collecting and dropping off the items at any of the 45 Sleep Experts stores in Dallas. This year’s drive will benefit CitySquare and will be held from Nov. 1 through Nov. 30.

“Sleep Experts has a long tradition of bringing the community together to share the gift of sleep and bring comfort to families in need during the holiday season,” said Adam Benigni, vice president and district manager for Sleep Experts. “With the help of the Girl Scouts and our local communities, we have collected over 20,000 items in the drive’s first ten years, and we hope to bring warmth to more families this year and have our most successful Share the Warmth drive yet.”

The local Girl Scouts participate by collecting blankets and other comfort items in their own communities, learning about the importance of helping others. At the end of the drive, each Girl Scout will earn a special Share the Warmth community service patch.

“A cornerstone to Girl Scouting is making the world a better place through community service. One of our favorite ways to give back during the holiday season is by promoting Share the Warmth, a terrific partnership between Girl Scouts and Sleep Experts,” said Jennifer Bartkowski, chief executive officer of the Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas. “Last year, Girl Scouts collected more than 6,000 comfort items and our girls look forward to once again providing comfort and security to those in need through CitySquare.”

The items collected during the drive will be delivered in early December to CitySquare to help keep local citizens warm this winter season. CitySquare, a Dallas-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, aims to fight the root causes of poverty through service, advocacy and friendship. The organization offers programs throughout Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Waco and Austin.

“Poverty is widespread in our local communities and the holiday season is not an easy one for those in need,” said Shawn Wills, Chief Development Officer at CitySquare. “We are honored to be the beneficiary of Share the Warmth this year and are so thankful to Sleep Experts and the Girl Scouts for helping us care for those who need it most.”

To participate in Share the Warmth, visit any of the 45 Sleep Experts stores in Dallas. For more information on Share the Warmth and Sleep Experts’ Share the Gift of Sleep, please visit http://www.SleepExperts.com.
