Sleep in Heavenly Peace - Building Beds for Kids
The Cambridge Community Center and United Cambridge Presbyterian Church in coordination with the Sleep In Heavenly Peace (SHP) organization's coordinator Jim Welch in the Mechanicville SHP Chapter invite You to the "Build of Beds" on Saturday October 5th from 9 am to 4 pm.
This national organization's mission is to be sure "No Kid Sleeps on the Floor in Our Town". We at the Cambridge Community Center have pledged to build 20 twin beds which could become 10 bunks. We have found 5 children who need beds and help us to find more!
We are gathering money to pay for the materials. Each bunk with 2 wooden beds, mattresses, pillows, sheets, and comforters costs $350. To reach our goal of $3500, please donate to the Cambridge United Presbyterian Church (tax deductible) at 81 East Main St Cambridge, NY 12816 and note Sleep in Heavenly Peace on your check. We are halfway to our goal!!
With these funds Jim arranges with Wiley Lumber who brings the wood to the Brieman building at 81 East Main St. The Mechanicville chapter has found great sources of pillows, mattress, sheets and blankets, who are working with them to keep the costs as low as possible for quality items.
Then, We, You, Your Friends, Our Friends, all come to help build the beds with instruction. (Children under 12 cannot build but everyone else can!) The SHP team of Mechanicville will be on hand to teach us the steps and tasks to build these beds. We are hoping for a nice day and will build the beds outdoors by the Brieman Community Center building. Dress in clothes that don't mind a little sawdust!
Please let us know if you know anyone under 18 that needs a bed and we'll get them on the list on the https://www.shpbeds.org/request-free-twin-bunk-bed website.
