TEMPLE, Texas — The Salvation Army of Bell County is asking the public to come out and donate new air mattresses later this month.
On March 25, the organization is hosting a "New in the Box" Air Mattress Drive from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 419 West Avenue G in Temple.
“We are asking our community neighbors to love on our clients by providing air mattresses to keep them from sleeping on the floor,” said Lt. David Beckham, Corps Officer, said in a news release. “We cannot provide items such as this when rehousing a family or individual due to funding restrictions."
The organization said they are asking for air mattresses of all sizes and can be with or without a pump.
The organization said used bed mattresses are not accepted.
"New air mattresses can be stored easily, and given to our families when they move into their own apartments," Auxiliary Capt. Dawn Beckham added.
