MLILY Donates Pillows To Knoxville 911 Call Center

Mattress manufacturer MLILY USA surprised the workers at Knoxville’s 911 call center with gifts of more than 100 pillows to thank dispatchers for working tirelessly behind the scenes for the community.

Dispatchers serve as the critical link between people in distress and the emergency services they need. It is a high-stress position known to take its toll on these public servants. As a leader in educating consumers on the importance of sleep and its impact on performance, MLILY USA donated the pillows in order to support better sleep for those in such an emotionally taxing profession.

“This time of year is the perfect time to thank all types of service members, the kind stranger at the grocery store or even the wait staff at your favorite restaurant,” said Stephen Chen, president MLILY USA. “We try very hard to be a good corporate citizen in the communities where we live and work, and this is one of several initiatives we support to live up to those values. Dispatchers at the 911 center always need to be sharp and perform to their fullest. We wanted to do something that would express our gratitude and help them in return. They are tasked with an incredibly difficult job that not many people can handle. We simply wanted to say thank you and let them know we appreciate what they do.”

Holiday Stockings

The company recently participated in a holiday stocking decorating contest to benefit patients at the East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. The company’s corporate employees in Knoxville and Los Angeles competed by decorating innovative holiday stockings and stuffing them with gifts that will be placed at the foot of children’s beds before they wake up on December 25th. The stockings included gifts such as playing cards, crayons, coloring books, stuffed animals and other fun items the children can play with and enjoy.

Giving back is an integral part of MLILY’s corporate ethos. The company has consistently donated to other organizations such as The House That Mercy Built, a safe place for women suffering from drug or alcohol abuse and Haibu, whose purpose is to educate posterity on global efforts for wildlife conservation. The company is also an ongoing supporter of Special Spaces, a non-profit organization that transforms the bedrooms of terminally ill children.
