"Ashley's Angels was created from the passion of one employee wanting to help others in need. This passion has carried on for more than 20 years, inspiring others throughout our company and our communities."

The Ashley’s Angels program was established in 1997 by an Ashley Furniture Ambassador from Mississippi, after they heard about a girl who was living in a car with her mother and sibling. The Ashley driver recruited help from fellow drivers to provide food, clothing, and proper housing before Christmas. That year, they raised $685 for gifts for the family, and helped them get an apartment. Seeing the impact their efforts had made in this family’s life encouraged those involved to form Ashley’s Angels.
Since its inception, Ashley's Angels has generated over $3,000,000 in donations and benefited more than 20,000 children in Mississippi, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. The community patrons of Ashley’s Angels include local businesses and volunteers that partner with area schools to provide necessities to children who need it most.
