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.
