A HOUSTON ORGANIZATION has been providing families with basic necessities in the form of furniture for more than 30 years. This summer, supporters of the Houston Furniture Bank gathered at River Oaks Country Club to raise awareness and funds to provide beds to children who otherwise have to sleep on the floor.
Founder Jodie Hoffer of Hoffer Furniture has helped thousands of families over the decades, thanks to fellow family-run businesses including Finger Furniture and Star Furniture. All were honored at the evening function, which was emceed by Khambrel Marshall.
A "giving tree" was stocked with surprise items for purchase, and a silent auction touted exclusive wine lots, among other fine prizes. In all, the No Kids on the Floor event raised more than $275,000 to purchase beds for youth.
