AUSTIN (KXAN) — Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale, owner of Gallery Furniture, is planning to give away 400 mattresses to people who were affected by the flash floods that hit the Hill Country last month.
McIngvale and Gallery Furniture will distribute the mattresses on Saturday to people from Hunt, Ingram, Kerrville, and across the Leander and Austin Hill Country region who were affected by the July 4 floods, according to a press release.

“For the past two weeks, we’ve been on the ground in the hardest-hit areas—walking through devastated neighborhoods, helping families clean up debris, and listening to their stories,” McIngvale said in the release. “We’ve sent relief trucks with supplies, but more importantly, we’ve shared a simple message: We love you, we care about you, and we’re here to help.”
Mattresses (twin, full, queen and king) will be distributed on Saturday, Aug. 9 , 7-9 a.m. (or until all mattresses are gone) at Lago Vista High School. Distribution will be on a first-come, first-served basis…
