Calling all caring neighbors! Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), a non-profit dedicated to providing beds for children in need, is gearing up for its annual Deliveries Across America (DAA) event on Saturday, December 14, 2024. This transformative initiative unites SHP chapters across North America in the largest, one-day bed delivery event in the nation, ensuring thousands of children, no matter their circumstances, have safe and comfortable sleeping conditions (right before the holidays).
Millions of children in the U.S. are sleeping on the floor, couches, or shared beds. Child bedlessness might not be a real word, but it’s a real problem. A good night’s sleep can improve a child’s:
- Physical health: Reducing the risk of health problems and sleep related accidents.
- Mental health: Promoting better mood, reduced anxiety, and improved cognitive function.
- Academic performance: Enhancing focus, concentration, and overall school performance.
SHP and DAA empowers communities to come together to make a real difference in the lives of children. This year’s DAA is aiming high, engaging hundreds of volunteers to deliver, assemble and arrange bedding for thousands of children’s beds in a single day!
By volunteering your time or making a donation, you’re not just giving a bed; you’re providing a foundation for a brighter future. Anyone can volunteer with SHP, no experience required. Learn more about volunteering here.
