Once again, Mattress Mack has opened his showroom for those needing shelter from Hurricane Beryl. We have learned over the years that Mattress Mack is there when Houston is in need! He posted the below video to his Tiktok account.
@mattressmackGF 6006 N FRWY IS NOW OPEN AS A SHELTER AS OF 8AM CST MONDAY 7/8/24 AS A RESPONSE TO TROPICAL STORM BERYL. SORRY, NO ANIMALS ALLOWED. GOD BLESS♬ original sound - Mattress Mack
As of noon today, more than 2.6 million homes and businesses are without power in the Houston area and surrounding counties, according to poweroutage.us. Some areas of Houston have already received almost a foot of rain. Our Prayers go out to all in the path of this dangerous storm.
JIM ALWAYS STEPS UP:
If you remember back to Hurricane Harvey, Mattress Mack transformed his furniture stores into shelters for Hurricane Harvey victims providing food and water. He also sent out his company’s moving trucks to help and rescue about 200 people. McIngvale has become a well-known figure in the city who has a history of donating to charitable causes and opening his furniture stores as shelters.
During Hurricane Katrina in 2005, McIngvale opened two of his stores to 200 people who had fled New Orleans seeking shelter.
Mattress Mack is well-known for giving back year-round. Along with donating to multiple charities throughout the year. He hosts an annual Christmas giveaway and does so many other things in the Houston community.
Mattress Mack has a big pocketbook and a big heart to match and this is why we love Mattress Mack!
