BUILD A BED

Children need a comfortable place to sleep. Good sleep promotes proper physical and mental health. Without proper bedding, children lack the ability to get the rest they need to function appropriately. You can make a difference in a child’s life by donating your resources or volunteering to build or install a bed. This will be a great day for you and your family to serve together to make a difference.
