Denver, October 15, 2009—National furniture retailer Sofa Mart and Furniture Row Outlet, specialty stores of Furniture Row Companies, have donated over $231,000 to aid the estimated two million street children in Mexico City.

The charity campaign titled, “Hope Is Always In Style,” allocated $20 for every sofa sold from 8/19/09 through 9/23/09. Those proceeds will benefit World Vision’s “Niņos de la Calle” (street children) program which assists in the wide spread problem of homeless children in Mexico City.
