Bob’s Discount Furniture Launches Campaigns to Benefit the USO
Cafe Collections for a Cause and Bob’s Plushie’s for Charity will support America’s service members and their families
Arlington, VA, Jan. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bob’s Discount Furniture today announced two campaigns to benefit the USO mission to strengthen the well-being of the people who serve in America’s military and their families.
Cafe Collections for a Cause
Shoppers at Bob’s Discount Furniture stores will be given the option to put monetary contributions into a donation box or donate via a QR code at the store’s café, where shoppers are treated to complimentary treats and coffee. All funds raised through March 31 will benefit the USO, and Bob’s will match guests’ donations collected in participating store locations dollar-for-dollar up to $75,000
Bob’s Plushies for Charity
Bob’s will donate $5 from the sale of every Little Bob plushie sold at participating store locations to the USO through December 31.
“We are grateful to Bob’s Discount Furniture and their shoppers for supporting the USO mission through these campaigns,” said Ben Leslie, USO Chief Development Officer. “Their contributions will have a direct impact on the lives of our service members and their families around the globe.”
“Bob’s is honored to welcome the USO as a new partner. We’ve seen firsthand the powerful impact USO centers have in providing a home away from home for service members and their families,” said Bill Barton, President and CEO of Bob’s Discount Furniture. “This fundraising will help support the critical services and programs the USO delivers every day.”
Bob’s Discount Furniture first partnered with the USO in the summer of 2025 as they expanded into North Carolina. Bob’s contributed over $60,000 in monetary contributions and in-kind donations last year. Noteworthy projects included furnishing the USO center at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina, and furnishing the relocated and renovated USO center at the U.S. Navy Submarine Base in Groton, Connecticut. Bob’s employees also participated in a care package packing event to benefit troops as well as sponsorship of an annual trunk-or-treat event for military families.
