Lovesac Partners with Habitat for Humanity to Support Sustainable Comfort Across the Nation
Lovesac and Habitat for Humanity Join Forces for Community Impact
In a groundbreaking partnership, The Lovesac Company has teamed up with Habitat for Humanity, a renowned global organization dedicated to building affordable housing solutions, to enhance community livability across the nation. This collaboration emphasizes both companies' dedication to sustainability while transforming homes into more welcoming and comfortable spaces.
Established in Stamford, Connecticut, Lovesac is celebrated for its unique ability to design, manufacture, and sell high-quality, modular furniture. Utilizing their innovative Designed for Life (DFL) methodology, Lovesac products prioritize quality, sustainability, and the promise of comfort which adapts to customers' evolving needs. With a strong focus on making a lasting impact, the partnership aims to provide families with essential furniture solutions at affordable prices.
A Shared Commitment to Community
To date, Lovesac has contributed over $600,000 worth of products such as Sactionals and Sacs to Habitat for Humanity, showcasing a long-standing commitment to bolstering affordable housing initiatives nationwide. These donated products are distributed through the Habitat ReStores, a network of retail outlets where each sale directly funds local housing projects. In 2023 alone, Lovesac has committed to donating at least $150,000 more in products, ensuring their promise of community support and sustainability.
The inaugural phase of this partnership includes disaster relief initiatives aimed at providing assistance to communities affected by natural disasters. Notably, in response to recent calamities such as Hurricane Helene in North Carolina and devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, Lovesac has pledged over $400,000 in product donations to local Habitat ReStores.
Engaging Employees in Local Initiatives
Lovesac is not only providing material donations; they are also actively engaging their nearly 2,000 employees in volunteerism. Throughout the year, employees will participate in Volunteer Build Days, collaborating with local Habitat affiliates to build and refurbish homes. Additionally, Lovesac showrooms will serve as hubs for facilitating local collaborations and volunteer opportunities, deepening their community impact.
Shawn Nelson, the founder, and CEO of Lovesac, expressed his enthusiasm about this partnership. He remarked, "At Lovesac, we are rooted in sustainability and comfort for all, and we are proud to partner with Habitat for Humanity. By combining our premium designed furniture with Habitat’s dedication to building affordable shelter, we are creating spaces where families can not only live but truly thrive. This initiative is crucial in communities affected by natural disasters, and we are grateful for the opportunity to make a tangible difference."
Sustainable Practices and Philanthropy
Lovesac's DFL philosophy is central to their product development, aiming to promote sustainability while ensuring comfort across homes. They have consistently contributed items to regional Habitat ReStores after events and photoshoots, extending the life of products beyond their original use.
Charlita Stephens-Walker, Vice President of Corporate Partnerships and Cause Marketing at Habitat for Humanity International, echoed the sentiments of the partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to embark on this new level of partnership with Lovesac. Their generous donation of Sactionals and Sacs supports the goal of our ReStores to help improve surrounding communities and provide an opportunity for more families to create homes where they feel safe and secure."
