About Our Chapter
Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a growing group of volunteers dedicated to building, assembling and delivering beds to children (ages 3-17) in need in the Durham area
Child bedlessness may not be a real word but it is a real problem.
We believe in sharing this need with the community and then providing ways for the community to help meet that need. We are locally all volunteer.
- Find our sign up links below to help deliver or build beds.
