Bed Build Day-Invitation to Rotary and Community Volunteers
Be a part of Springfield’s Bed Build Day on Saturday, September 6, 2025 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. No construction skills are required to help with the process.
The motto, “no kids sleep on the floor in our town” is from the new Springfield chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace. SHP’s mission is to tackle childhood bedlessness, which affects an estimated 3% of the population. Their goal is to provide children who do not have beds or even pillows a bed frame, mattress and bedding to call their own to ensure a night of good sleep.
Rotary volunteers are joining community volunteers to participate in the build. SHP (Sleep in Heavenly Peace Chapter) has raised enough funds to build more beds for children in Springfield. If you can volunteer even for an hour, your support would be greatly appreciated! The link to register to volunteer is below. However, there will be registration and waiver forms for those who show up on Saturday. Students 18 years old and under will need to have a waiver signed by their parent. There are many steps to the process to so if you are not an experienced builder, we can still use your help.
