"  Our intern, Willa Dunn, senior at the Fashion Institute of Technology State University of New York in New York City reports on a way to help the needy during the holiday season. The holidays are fast approaching. Before you know it, it&amp;#039;ll be time to gather round the table for a Thanksgiving feast and then stand on lines to purchase the perfect gifts for loved ones. Not only is the holiday season the biggest shopping event of the year, it&amp;#039;s the most popular time for volunteering and giving charitable donations. Here&amp;#039;s one way you can help. In these difficult economic times, with people experiencing foreclosures and unemployment, there are over 46 million people living below the poverty line. The Salvation Army works to raise awareness of this fact as well as provide aid to families in need. This holiday season Stearns &amp;amp;amp; Foster, will join The Salvation Army in its efforts to help the poor by donating $100 for every mattress set sold between November 22 and January 8, 2012 toward the purchase of mattresses for The Salvation Army residential shelters. \u3000 If you&amp;#039;re thinking of buying a new mattress, this might be a good time to do it.
