All children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads.
It is estimated that approximately 3% of children do not have a bed of their own. Kids across the DFW area 
are sleeping on blankets on the floor, on shared mattresses crowded with siblings, or on a couch in the living room. They don’t have a place to relax and prepare their small minds and bodies for the coming day. According to the National Sleep Foundation, getting an adequate amount of sleep has a direct impact on a child’s overall physical and mental development.
That’s where Sleep in Heavenly Peace comes in. We are a group of volunteers dedicated to building, assembling, and delivering beds to children and families in need. We provide hand-built single and bunk beds, mattresses, and bedding - many times with designs and colors hand picked to meet the wishes of each child. Unicorns, superheroes, and race cars are very popular!
Funding through North Texas Giving Day will enable us to build and deliver more beds to help us with our mission of "No Kid Sleeps on the Floor in our Town”®.
Needs
Our chapter’s needs include financial support, volunteers, and bedding donations:
-
Financial donations such as those coming from North Texas Giving Day help us to purchase the lumber, hardware, mattresses, bedding, and tools we need to build and deliver beds to children in need.
-
Volunteers: We are always looking for dedicated volunteers to help build and deliver beds. With just a few hours of your time you can make a direct, permanent impact in the lives of children in your community. Check our website for upcoming volunteer opportunities.
-
Bedding: Each bed we deliver to a child comes complete with a brand-new twin-sized sheet set, comforter or quilt, and standard-size pillow. We welcome bedding donations and are looking for individuals, groups, schools, civic clubs, businesses, and faith-based organizations that would like to host a bedding drive for us. We have wish lists on Walmart (boys, girls), Target, and Amazon to help you pick out the types of bedding that kids are requesting the most!
