Rotarians and other community volunteers donated their time and skills last Saturday morning to saw, drill, sand and stain 40 Cargo-style children’s beds for the non-profit Sleep in Heavenly Peace in north Houston. The finished beds will be delivered and assembled by volunteers when they are delivered to low-income Humble area homes where children are sleeping on the floor or sofa and don't have their own bed. Lake Houston Rotary donated the funds to help cover the cost of materials.
Last Saturday at Sleep in Heavenly Peace’s construction building in north Houston, Lake Houston Rotary sponsored and completed the building of 40 Cargo style beds to be provided to Humble area children who don’t have a bed of their own in which to sleep.
Rotarians and other community volunteers donated their Saturday morning to saw, drill, sand and stain the children’s beds. While the finished bed is not “fine” furniture, it’s very functional.
The beds are designed to be used individually or as bunk beds. They are assembled on delivery and are provided with mattresses and age-appropriate bedding.
Additional volunteers are needed to deliver and assemble the beds this coming Saturday.
The North Houston chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace has built and delivered 3,700 children’s beds since its founding in August, 2018.
There is currently an 800+ waiting list for more beds.
