The local chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) will join 300 other chapters nationwide in building 40,000 bunk beds for kids who do not have a bed of their own.
With the year just two-thirds over, the Central Oregon chapter has already built and delivered 516 beds (with sheets and mattress). On Saturday, September 9, at the Lowe’s on Highway 97 and Cooley Road, hundreds will gather to assemble beds starting at 9am in their biggest build yet. Tools and lunch will be provided.
SHP is looking for volunteers to build beds that day and also donations of cash or new twin-size sheet sets. Children eight and older are welcome to participate.
If you’d like to help build beds, please go to bit.ly/shpevent. For more information about the chapter, please visit shpbeds.org/chapter/or-Deschutes-co.
