Christmas Comes Early To Habitat For Humanity Re-Stores

PITTSFIELD, Mass., Nov. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 'Tis the season for giving! The Annie Selke Companies is kicking off the holiday season by donating over 4,000 luxury fleece robes to Habitat for Humanity Re-Stores to support safe and affordable housing.

Habitat for Humanity and The Annie Selke Companies recently announced their national partnership, and this donation reflects an ongoing commitment in support of Habitat's mission to help families build strength and stability through shelter.

"This year, we wanted to give back in a big way," says Founder and Chief Vision Officer, Annie Selke. "And gifts of comfort – like warm and fuzzy robes – just felt right. Our company is committed to helping others access the things that keep us safe – food, shelter, warmth, rest – and those core values are also reflected in our ongoing partnership with Habitat."

"We're grateful for the support from Annie Selke and we're excited to embark on this partnership," Julie Laird Davis, vice president of corporate and foundation relations at Habitat for Humanity International. "Annie Selke and Habitat have a shared focus on safe and decent housing for all. We look forward to working together to making affordable homeownership a reality for more people across the globe."

Earlier this year, The Annie Selke Companies donated $1 million worth of rugs and bedding to their local Habitat for Humanity in the Berkshires. The spirit of giving is also threaded through the brand's vision for Holiday 2021: Holidays with Heart. To learn more or donate, visit annieselke.com/commitments.
