Gallery Furniture joins USO

Gallery Furniture is the newest worldwide partner for the United Service Organizations.

The USO, which provides morale, welfare and recreational services to U.S. military personnel and their families, has 86 centers in the United States, including two in Houston — one at each airport — and 22 centers around the world.

The Houston furniture shop has initially committed to outfit 35 USO centers worldwide with new furniture, electronics and interior design services. The store plans to continue until all centers are revamped.

Gallery Furniture is kicking off the relationship by providing new furniture to centers at William Hobby Airport; Mississippi’s Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport; Fort Carson, Colo.; Fort Drum, N.Y.; Philadelphia International Airport; and Camp Virginia, Kuwait.

The shop also partnered with the USO during Hurricane Ike, setting up televisions, computer stations and gaming equipment at two USO mobile canteens.
