Sleep in Heavenly Peace builds beds for kids in need – and it’s seeking help with bedding

(Updated: Adding video)

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- As we enter the holiday season, consider helping a Central Oregon child sleep better in their own bed, built and provided at no cost by the local nonprofit Sleep in Heavenly Peace.

SHP gets materials donated to build beds for children who may be sleeping with a sibling or on the floor. Several times a year, builds are help with lumber and supplies donated by Home Depot, Lowes and others.

But the beds need sheets, a blanket and a pillow. Can you help a child get a better nights sleep?

From now through Jan. 15, collection boxes will be located at the AAA office on Empire Avenue and at Bend-area Starbucks. 

"We need new twin-bed sized pillows, sheets and blankets," says Joe Myers, president of the central Oregon SHP chapter. "We hope that people consider donating a "Twin Bed in a Bag," he said.
