Help Kids Sleep Better – Volunteer to Deliver Beds with Sleep in Heavenly Peace!

Imagine a child sleeping on the floor — now imagine being the reason that child gets their very own bed. At Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), we believe no child should go without a bed, yet far too many are.

Our mission is simple yet powerful: get kids off the floor and into beds of their own. We build and deliver complete twin-size bed sets — including a frame, mattress, sheets, pillow, and blanket — to children in need.

Event Description
Join us for an morning of purpose, teamwork, and joy! Together, we’ll deliver pre-built bed parts and assemble them right in the homes of families in need. Once assembled, we’ll make each bed sleep-ready — fully dressed with all the bedding a child needs for a warm, restful night.

No experience necessary — just bring your heart and helping hands. We’ll guide you every step of the way.

Are you looking for a hands-on way to give back but with limited availability? Join us as a Transport & Loading/Unloading Volunteer and help move essential materials that support our mission!

About Us: Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP):

Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a volunteer-led nonprofit organization committed to building and delivering beds to children in need — because every child deserves a safe, comfortable place to sleep. Our local Montgomery chapter works year-round with volunteers and community partners to bring comfort and dignity to children across our area. We help children who’s been sleeping on the floor, on couches, or sharing overcrowded sleeping spaces.

But before we can build the beds — we need the wood.

The Opportunity – Transport Volunteer:

We’re looking for a dependable volunteer with a truck or van to assist once a month by transporting lumber from our lumber partner in Silver Spring to our storage/worksite in Frederick.

This role is crucial to keeping our builds running on schedule — because no wood means no beds.

What You'll Do:

Pick up a pre-set load of lumber from a supplier in Silver Spring, assist the team with loading.Transport and unload the lumber at our Frederick Build Warehouse.Preferred time: Friday afternoons (once per month) ⏱Time commitment: approx. 3–4 hours/month

You’re a Great Fit If You:

Have a reliable truck or van with space for transporting lumber Can lift and move lumber (with help if needed) Are dependable and have a flexible Friday afternoon schedule Believe in giving back and helping kids in your community

Why It Matters:

Every load of lumber you transport becomes the frame of a bunk bed… Every bunk bed becomes a safe, warm place for a child to rest… And every child deserves that kind of peace. Your one afternoon of service each month makes a direct, hands-on impact — helping us turn raw materials into restored hope for families in need.
