Stoughton's O'Donnell Middle School Receives Donation from Bob's Discount Furniture

The following is a press release from Bob's Discount Furniture:

School budgets have been especially hard hit over the last several years as the economy remains volatile.  

But, thanks to the generosity of Bob’s Discount Furniture and its loyal patrons, seven Massachusetts schools, including the  in Stoughton, will now have a little extra money to put toward their respective arts and education programs. 

The OMS received $1,000 as part of Bob’s Outreach Program, which began nearly 20 years ago.  

Cathy Poulin, Bob's Discount Furniture's Public Relations/Outreach Director, recently visited faculty and students at the OMS to present a $1,000 donation. 

Every month, Bob's randomly selects seven schools in the communities near its stores and grants each a $1,000 donation. 

This donation is made possible through money collected in donation jars, which are located in each Bob’s store cafe. While visiting Bob's, patrons are encouraged to visit the store cafe to enjoy complimentary gourmet coffee, ice cream, fresh baked cookies and candy, and they can also make a donation to support their local schools.  

“We value the community support we receive at all of our locations, and are thrilled to help enhance education and arts programs in these areas,” said Cathy Poulin, public relations director, Bob’s Discount Furniture. “We encourage donations in all of our stores, and distribute this money to worthy schools and community organizations up and down the East Coast.”

Bob's Discount Furniture has a Stoughton location at 601 Technology Center Drive.
