Sleep in Heavenly Peace

Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) is a nonprofit organization with chapters all over the country. Years ago, it was created to address the national problem of children without beds to sleep in. Here, they believe all kids deserve a safe and comfortable place to lay their heads at night.

Beds are a basic need for proper physical, emotional, and mental support. When it was brought to SHP’s attention that the need for beds went far beyond their own local neighborhoods, they stepped up and took initiative to help the rest of the nation, as well.

Get Involved

Sleep in Heavenly Peace

Volunteers are a crucial part of the Sleep in Heavenly Peace team, as they’re in charge of building, assembling, and delivering beds to children and families in need. A typical build day lasts around four hours, but it can vary depending on the number of beds that need to be built, and volunteers that signed up that day.

You won’t have to worry about bringing your own tools, as everything you need will be provided for you. No experience is required, either. Trained volunteers are available to assist you and answer any questions you might have. Basically, with a little elbow grease, anyone can become a knowledgeable and helpful asset to the team.

Volunteering Requirements

Sleep in Heavenly Peace

There are a few rules when it comes to signing up to help with build days.

Each volunteer is required to fill out an Indemnification Release Form.
No child under the age of 12 is allowed to participate in a build day.
Underage minors are required to be accompanied by a legal guardian.

Also, remember to dress appropriately—your clothes may get dirty and dusty and close-toed shoes are a requirement.

Donate Today

SHP’s goal is for 80% of donations to go back into the bed-building and delivery process, and 20% to go towards the tools and fundraising needed to help get kids off the floor. Some other items they accept include pillows, bedding, lumber, and tool kits.
