Social services, veterans groups, or community clubs (elks, rotary, etc. ) might be able to help. Get publicity through your local newspaper or radio station. Someone may offer space at a good rate and it would encourage others to donate. Good luck!

Check out their mission (philantropic. ) i am totally impressed. Maybe you could contact them for potential people to donate their matresses to,

Annc wrote: You are on a wonderful mission. We have a furniture bank in a nearby town where people can get mattresses, bedroom furniture, chairs, etc. Some of the local furniture stores will recycle good used furniture for customers when they buy new furniture. The furniture bank also has a donated van which they use to pick up furniture from people's homes when they are downsizing, etc. and to deliver furniture to the homes of those who need it.
