About Us
SHP Cincinnati East was formed in January 2024 to help kids in Hamilton County. We have gotten off to a great start thanks to generous donors and volunteers! We’ve acquired use of a warehouse, purchased all needed tools, built all needed carts and jigs, and acquired a trailer! We are developing growing Core Team (scroll to bottom) and we held our first build day and first delivery days.
Now we need your help. We have begun talking to companies, churches, schools and individuals about sponsoring a build day. We have also begun applying to foundations to provide us with grants to purchase wood and bedding.
If you would like to join us in in any way, click the various links on this page. If you click the volunteer link, someone will be in touch with you to discuss volunteer opportunities. If you know of a company, church, school or foundation that would like to help us, or if you have any other questions, reach out to todd.forman@shpbeds.org.
Thanks for checking out our Chapter, we truly appreciate your support, and we hope you will join us!

VolunteerWant to be more involved?
Critical to our success is our core team. Our core team is a group of volunteers that take on a leadership role during our builds and deliveries. At a bed build, they simply provide instruction to our volunteers, oversee tasks and answer questions. It's really easy and no experience or skills are needed, you simply need a big heart and attention to detail. There is no set commitment, if you can help once every month or two that's great, once or twice a month even better. Our events usually take place on Saturday's anytime between 8 am and 3 pm. So what do you think? If you want to join our team or if have more questions click the button below and a member of our team will get in touch with you.
