Service clubs build beds for Sleep in Heavenly Peace

Members of the Brockport Lions Club together with the Lions Club of Chili, Moose Club of Churchville, and other volunteers, worked together on April 26 building beds. The service clubs partnered with Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) to prepare all the structural parts for the beds. Forty participants performed the prep work. They cut, sanded, drilled, assembled, cured, wrapped, and stored for shipment enough wood pieces and assemblies to make 35 twin or bunk beds for children in need from our area. These beds go to families complete with a mattress, sheets, comforter, and pillow. The mission of Sleep in Heavenly Peace is to have no child sleeping on the floor in our community.
The project was funded with a Brandel Murphy grant and matching funding totaling $5,000.
