Ashley HomeStore of Yuma hosts annual “Hope to Dream” event

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Ashley HomeStore of Yuma hosted its annual “Hope to Dream” event on Sunday evening, bringing together local children and families for a night focused on comfort, community, and giving back.

Fifty children selected from Yuma District One, Crane Elementary School District, and Crossroads Mission attended a special screening of The Grinch, enjoying the movie from the comfort of beds displayed outside the store. The event provided a welcoming and festive atmosphere, complete with food for attendees and special appearances by Mr. and Mrs. Claus.

Following the movie, Ashley HomeStore surprised all 50 children by allowing each of them to take the bed they watched the film on home at no cost.

Owner Tenille Houston emphasized the importance of the event and its impact on the community.

“This is what it’s all about - giving back,” Houston said. “We’re just so blessed to have the opportunity to do this for our local community and our local children.”

Ashley HomeStore of Yuma has participated in the national “Hope to Dream” initiative since 2010.
