Valentines Winner

Annual Valentine's Day Mattress Winner! We delivered Bailey's brand-new Immunity Queen Size Mattress Set valued at $2,999. She was the lucky winner of our annual Valentine's Day giveaway. "I'm very grateful that they can do this yearly," said Bailey. "It gives people a chance to do something for themselves. Like most parents, I put things on the back-burner if it doesn't involve my kids." Winning the mattress was just what she needed. The past few years have been challenging. "In late 2022, I left a really bad relationship. The majority of my belongings were tossed out or destroyed." Due to a work-related injury, Bailey's been out of work for over a year. After three surgeries, the doctors are unsure if she can return to her position as a medical assistant. "When I saw 16 Cents' Facebook post about the contest, I thought it could be an amazing opportunity to get a new bed," said Bailey. "I needed one but didn't have the funds for it. All our extra money goes straight to the kids." Bailey has been sleeping on an old mattress purchased several years ago and is looking forward to sleeping on the new one. "It was hard to believe we won until 16 Cents messaged me," said Bailey. "I'm looking forward to having a new mattress, let alone a whole new set. It's really special. I feel like this is going to be our year."

The definition of the nationally celebrated holiday, Thanksgiving, has had numerous translations. Our own definition is created by our families and upbringing.

Over time, customs to the celebration include gathering in unity, teach the young about the importance of this holiday and to prepare the heart in gratitude as we reflect what provides us with goodness. By “giving-thanks” we opt to extend to others less fortunate than ourselves. Thanksgiving is the expression of gratitude, especially to GOD.

As a reflection of this meaning, and what the stores are designed to do, Jason wanted to give a table & food to a family in need. With a social media contest in place, 16 Cents, 3 Shoes & 5 Socks asked for names of people in need. In an electronic random selection, Kyla Lyons was the winner of a new kitchen table & chairs, $500 in groceries & $100 from Avista. Kyla is a new mom and recently married in a new apartment that was without a table for the Thanksgiving holiday. This provided more than goodness in our community.

When you purchase a mattress, table, sofa or bed from 16 Cents, 3 Shoes & 5 Socks you are doing more than providing furnishings for your home. You are giving back.
