SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE

SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE

About

What Is It?

A national, volunteer-run organization that provides beds, complete with mattresses and bedding, to needy children. There are three chapters in the Houston area.

Help Needed:

Help build beds on regular Build Days; possibly help deliver beds. Please contact SIHP for COVID-related updates.

Details

Minimum Age to Volunteer

12. Volunteers age 12-17 must be accompanied by a legal guardian. 

Time Commitment

“A typical Build Day lasts around 4 hours, but the time needed is based on the number of beds planned to be built and the number of volunteers we have signed up for that day.”

 

Suitable for Groups of Volunteers?

Yes. “Build Days are meant for communities to come together to serve. Because of this we encourage kids, adults, families, co-workers, neighborhoods, community groups, churches, organizations, businesses, schools, etc. to sponsor or participate in a Build Day.”

 

Training Needed

None. All instruction will be provided.

BUILD TWIN-SIZED BEDS

“Our volunteers learn how to build bunk beds. They have a chance to learn how to use woodworking tools such as saws, drills, sanders, hammers and many other pieces of equipment. They learn how to measure, level, and make true woodcuts. They learn how to sand and stain wood. They even get to see how branding a bed works.”

HELP DELIVER BEDS

Sometimes volunteers are needed to help deliver and set up the beds.
