Volunteer: Build Beds, Build Dreams – Volunteer with Sleep in Heavenly PeaceClick to Register: Registration Link Give a child a place to dream. Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of hands-on impact and community connection! With your help, Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) is building and delivering beds to children in need in the Montgomery County area — because no child should have to sleep on the floor. We are a volunteer-driven organization building and delivering beds to children without a bed of their own. Why We Build: Our Mission Across Montgomery County and the Country, too many children go to sleep without a bed of their own. SHP is a national nonprofit committed to ending childhood bedlessness, one bed at a time. Every child we serve receives a complete bed set—frame, mattress, pillows, and bedding—at no cost to their family. When you join a Build Day, you’re giving a child more than a bed—you’re giving them dignity, rest, and hope. How You Can Help: The Volunteer Experience As a volunteer with SHP Beds, your role is instrumental in fabricating beds for children in our community. Engage in hands-on tasks such as sanding, drilling, staining, and branding, transforming raw lumber into finished pieces of comfort. Structured as an assembly line, each station is a vital step in the full fabrication of these bed parts. Structured so anyone can join and be part of a greater cause. No Experience Needed! Your craftsmanship directly contributes to providing a fundamental need for children who currently sleep on the floor. Whether you're a seasoned builder or new to the tools, your dedication in the workshop plays a vital part in the creation of beds that carry not just functionality but also the warmth of care and compassion. Clear instruction and guidance provided - no experience is necessary to make a difference with SHP! Check out this video to see how we are making an impact from start to finish (from build day to delivery day) See more upcoming volunteer opportunities here Visit our Website to learn More! Follow us on Facebook or Instagram to keep up to date on the impact we are making!

Why We Build: Our Mission Across Montgomery County and the Country, too many children go to sleep without a bed of their own. SHP is a national nonprofit committed to ending childhood bedlessness, one bed at a time. Every child we serve receives a complete bed set—frame, mattress, pillows, and bedding—at no cost to their family. When you join a Build Day, you’re giving a child more than a bed—you’re giving them dignity, rest, and hope. How You Can Help: The Volunteer Experience As a volunteer with SHP Beds, your role is instrumental in fabricating beds for children in our community. Engage in hands-on tasks such as sanding, drilling, staining, and branding, transforming raw lumber into finished pieces of comfort. Structured as an assembly line, each station is a vital step in the full fabrication of these bed parts. Structured so anyone can join and be part of a greater cause. No Experience Needed! Your craftsmanship directly contributes to providing a fundamental need for children who currently sleep on the floor. Whether you're a seasoned builder or new to the tools, your dedication in the workshop plays a vital part in the creation of beds that carry not just functionality but also the warmth of care and compassion. Clear instruction and guidance provided - no experience is necessary to make a difference with SHP!

Volunteer tasks in the Clothing Center include receiving donations as people drop them off, sorting them by type of donation, hanging clothes and restocking sections in the center, and helping to keep the center clean and tidy. Volunteer tasks in the Food Pantry include restocking the store, helping answer questions that our families have, checking expiration dates on items, and helping keep track of inventory.
