Baby&Children's Product News: Delta Children Supports Expecting Military Families with Donations Totaling Over $328,000 Worth of Cribs and Mattresses

Delta Children, the world’s leading kids’ furniture brand, is proud to announce their recent donations of over $328,000 to military families during their 2018 annual Safe Sleep Campaign events.

In March, Delta Children held a Safe Sleep Campaign event at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, the largest military base in the world, where 500 cribs and mattresses (totaling over $228,000) were donated to military families through the USO of North Carolina. The President of Delta Children, Joseph Shamie, was on base to deliver a presentation to the attendees on important life-saving safety tips for their newborns.

In honor of May’s Military Appreciation Month, Delta Children participated in three separate baby shower events, partnering with Operation Homefront to support military families across the country and help ensure that all babies have a safe place to sleep. On May 11th, an event took place at Fort Dix in New Jersey where 75 new and expecting military parents participated in a baby shower where they were educated on the importance of safe sleep and received a donation of cribs, changing tables, and mattresses (worth over $42,000). Additional events throughout the month took place in Bremerton, WA and Colorado Springs, CO where a total of 200 cribs (totaling over $57,000) were donated to military families.

At each event, Safe Sleep resources were given out and safety tip presentations were delivered to all attendees to help serve as a reminder to new parents on the importance of creating a safe sleep environment for their new arrivals.

Joseph Shamie, President of Delta Children, believes that educating parents on the methods to provide a safe environment is just as critical as donating the physical items:

“Providing a safe place for a baby to sleep is one of the most important things a parent can do. At Delta Children, we’re committed to ensuring all children have a safe sleep space, and we are honored to give back to those who serve our country by supporting military families in this way.”

Delta Children has made it their mission to improve children’s lives through safety and has donated thousands of cribs and mattresses to families in need over the past several years. They continue to work with key partners such as the USO, Operation Homefront, and other charitable organizations to expand their reach and impact.
