As we enter the holliday season, consider helping a Central Oregon child sleep better in their own bed, built and provided at no cost by the local non-profit, Sleep in Heavenly Peace.
SHP gets materials donated to build beds for children who may be sleeping with a sibling or on the floor. Several times a year, builds are help with lumber and supplies donated by Home Depot, Lowes and others. But the beds need sheets, a blanket and a pillow. Can you help a child get a better nights sleep?
From now through January 15, collection boxes will be located at the AAA office on Empire and at Bend-area Starbucks.
"We need new twin-bed sized pillows, sheets and blankets," says Joe Myers, president of the central Oregon SHP chapter. "We hope that people consider donating a "Twin Bed in a Bag," he said. This link provides additional details about what is needed: https://linktr.ee/joe.myers
Rotarians from several clubs in Central Oregon will be using saws Saturday building beds for kids without. Rotary clubs have donated $10,000 for materials for the build and more than 50 Rotarians will take part in the build process!
The build will start at 921 Armour Rd at 9:30 am.
