Join Us to Build Beds for Children in Need on May 17

We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Sleep in Heavenly Peace for another fantastic community event! On May 17 from 9 AM to 12 PM, we invite you to be part of a meaningful initiative that will significantly impact the lives of children in our area. Sleep in Heavenly Peace is committed to providing beds for children who, due to unfortunate circumstances, are forced to sleep on the floor. With a strong local chapter covering regions from Albany to Saratoga and Schenectady to Greenwich, our aim is to ensure that every child has a comfortable place to sleep.



Why This Matters


Every night, thousands of children in our communities are sleeping on the floor because they lack proper bedding. This harsh reality affects their mental and physical well-being. Research shows that children who sleep in comfortable beds perform better in school and have improved emotional health.


By joining this event, you will contribute to a life-changing cause. Building beds is more than just assembling furniture; it's about providing a safe and cozy environment that fosters a sense of belonging among children. A child with their own bed feels valued and cared for, which is essential for their development.


How You Can Help


We need volunteers to help with bed assembly! Whether you are a seasoned builder or a first-timer, your skills are valuable. Sign up using the sheets located in the atrium. Registration is necessary to secure your place, so don't wait too long. Remember, big or small, your effort will contribute to a greater cause.


Additionally, we are seeking donations of NEW bedding for twin-size beds. Help us make these beds as comfortable as possible with essential items:


  • Pillows

  • Comforters

  • Blankets

  • Bed-In-A-Bag sets


Please drop off your donations at the designated tables in the atrium. Every piece of bedding makes a difference in providing a cozy sleeping space for children in need.


Monetary Contributions


If you’re unable to physically help with bed assembly, monetary donations are equally important! Contributions will assist with purchasing supplies required for building beds. Please bring any financial contributions to the parish office. Every dollar helps pave the way for a child to have a warm and safe place to sleep.
