Gallery Furniture Steps Up Again!

Tropical Storm Beryl, 2024

We thank and applaud Jim McIngvale and Gallery Furniture yet again for your philanthropic efforts when natural disasters take Houston by storm! You opened Gallery Furniture up to Houston at 8am on July 8, inviting those in need to stop by for some time in air conditioning, to charge their devices, have a good meal and to sit down and rest in your showroom. What a blessing you are to Houston! 

As the floodwaters went down, thousands of Houstonians who had heard about Gallery Furniture being a shelter and were in need of a place to charge their phone or eat a hot meal came to Gallery Furniture North Freeway.

Continued through July 11, Mattress Mack welcomed all Houstonians with open arms for a hot meal, clean bathrooms, lights, a playground where the kids could have fun, and a sense of community and fellowship for everyone. Free water and ice were also offered to Houstonians on July 17.

Our partnership makes so much sense. Houston Community College and Gallery Furniture share a vision to empower those in need in Houston with essentials, not just during crises, but also throughout the year. 

Now in our 3^rd year of offering this series, we are proud to bring the HCC Mattress Mack School of Selling© yet again to our community.
