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.
