Lets Build

WE BELIEVE THAT EVERY CHILD DESERVES A BED OF THEIR OWN TO SLEEP IN AT NIGHT AND THAT EVERY CHILD IS FULL OF INFINITE POTENTIAL. WE HELP CHILDREN BY PROVIDING A BED AND EMPOWERING THEM TO ASSEMBLE IT AND BE SUCCESSFUL. LET'S BUILD USES DONATIONS TO PURCHASE THE LUMBER MATTRESSES & FASTENERS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE BEDS. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES AND GROUPS WHO HOST BED BUILDING EVENTS WE TRAIN AND EQUIP VOLUNTEERS TO SAFELY BUILD THE BEDFRAMES WHICH ALONG WITH THE MATTRESSES AND BEDDING ARE DELIVERED BY VOLUNTEERS TO HOMES OF CHILDREN IN NEED WHO HAVE NO BED IN WHICH TO SLEEP.

BEDS TO CHILDREN WITHOUT BEDS-- IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HOSTING BUSINESSES & GROUPS WE CONDUCT BED BUILDS WHERE VOLUNTEERS BUILD DELIVER & SET UP BEDS SET UP BEDS IN HOMES OF CHILDREN WHO HELP IN THE SET UP OF THEIR OWN BEDS. THIS YEAR WE DELIVERED APPROXIMATELY 1,000 BEDS WITH APPROXIMATELY 1,600 VOLUNTEERS BUILDING AND OR DELIVERING & SETTING UP BEDS.

ENCOURAGING & EQUIPPING VOLUNTEERS FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE-- VOLUNTEERS' PARTICIPATION IN OUR BED BUILDS & DELIVERY OF BEDS TO CHILDREN IS A FUN & ENGAGING WAY VOLUNTEERS LEARN THEY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITIES FOR THOSE FOR WHOM THE BARE NECESSITIES ARE LACKING. THEIR PARTICIPATION NOT ONLY GIVES THEM CONSTRUCTION SKILLS BUT ALSO SERVES TO BOOST THEIR CONFIDENCE & ENCOURAGE THEM TO OVERCOME HESITATION TO PARTICIPATE IN FACE TO FACE COMMUNITY SERVICE & VOLUNTEER IN OTHER COMMUNITY SERVICE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.
