1. La-Z-Boy® Furniture Brings Comfort to Ronald McDonald House Charities’® 300 th House
Company Furnishes Library at West County Location in St. Louis as Official Furniture Provider to Ronald McDonald House Charities
MONROE, Mich. (September 23, 2010) – For the families of ill and injured children
staying at a Ronald McDonald House®, the comforts of home bring a sense of
normalcy during a time that’s anything but normal. With the help of La-Z-Boy, the
new 20-room West County Ronald McDonald House® will serve as a comfortable
home-away-from-home for these families at a time when they need it most. Five
La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores in the St. Louis area have donated beautiful
furniture including sofas, chairs, tables and more to completely furnish the library
in the House, making the West County Ronald McDonald House feel more like
home. The West County Ronald McDonald House location will be the 300th Ronald
McDonald House in the world.
“The West County Ronald McDonald House will provide families of ill and injured children a wonderful place of rest during tough times,” said
Keith Medlin, market sales manager of the La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries stores in the St. Louis area. “We are so pleased to support Ronald
McDonald House Charities as they celebrate the opening of their 300th House. These Houses provide such an important calm and supportive
environment for families in need.”
Among La-Z-Boy products donated to the West County Ronald McDonald House were the company’s comfortable
“Metro” sofas, a “Madison” chair and multiple wood accent pieces.
“We are thrilled to have a library filled with comfortable La-Z-Boy furniture that will make our families feel at home
the moment they arrive,” said Dan Harbaugh, president of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Metro St. Louis®.
“With La-Z-Boy's support, we will be able to offer a supportive environment for families so they can focus on the
health of their children.”
In addition to the furniture donation, employees of the La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries in the St. Louis area will carry
on their tradition of serving dinner to residents at one of the three local Ronald McDonald Houses once a month,
donating about 30 hours a month to the charity. The stores also will donate La-Z-Boy Comfort Bears stuffed
animals to the new house to offer added comfort.
