Sleep in Heavenly Peace

May 26 @ 7:30 am - 8:30 pm EDT

A bed is a basic need for the proper physical, emotional and mental support that a child needs and many children in our area do not have beds to sleep in.ย  Having a good bed helps children grow, helps them sleep better, helps them learn. ย Come and hear about this innovative team, building beds, building partners. Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a national organization answering the call to a national problem and is where it is today because of the passionate volunteers who believe in the mission of getting kids off the floor and into beds. In just a few hours of your time, you can make a direct, permanent impact in the quality of life for dozens, if not hundreds and maybe even thousands of kids in your community.

Building Beds for Kids in Need

Participating in one of their Build Days is an exciting experience. Thereโ€™s always something to doโ€ฆ from the moment you arrive, sign in, and get your safety gear until the last SHP logo is branded on the final headboard of the day. Volunteers โ€“ under the guidance of SHP Chapter team members โ€“ build bunks in an assembly line setup. There are stations for sawing, sanding, drilling, assembling, staining, and branding the wood. What started as a pile of raw lumber from the hardware store becomes ready-to-deliver bunks for kids in need.
