Hotels by Woodfin recently donated 225 mattresses and box springs to the
Society of St. Vincent De Paul Council of El Paso to promote the Society's
work with needy families in the Montana Vista and Canutillo areas. "These beds will be a blessing to many families in the Greater El Paso area," said Council President Becky Montelongo. "Before we received this donation, we had a waiting list of more than 100 local families in need of mattresses and boxsprings. A lot of families are going to sleep very comfortably thanks to the generosity of Sam Hardage's Chase Suites Hotels." Hardage, founder and chairman of Chase Suites, traveled to El Paso to personally assist with the donation. It was here that he opened his first hotel in 1981; today, he owns more than a dozen hotel properties from Maryland to California. The donation took place at the Chase Suites airport location. Hardage said: "El Paso is special to us, as this is where we began. We are proud to partner with St. Vincent De Paul Society to help the organization fulfill its mission of making this great city a better place for the less fortunate." St. Vincent De Paul volunteers were busy loading and delivering the mattresses and boxsprings throughout the week. Said Montelongo: "This reminds me of Christmas in June. 'And to all a good-night!'"
