Sleep in Heavenly Peace - IL, Alton

11/06/2026

Alton Memorial Hospital employees turned out to show everyone that they not only take care of the health of our community but also local kids needing beds. 16 very eager and willing volunteers and 8 SHP Core Members turned a pile of lumber and lots of sawdust into 8 comfortable and dignity building beds 🛌 for deserving local kids. Way to go AMH👏👏
All because, No Kids Sleep On The Floor In Our Town 🛌🛌

Thank you Riverbend East Rotary.
We are delivering 15 beds today.

Bedding in... bedding out! 🛌

Every child deserves a warm, comfortable place to lay their head at night. ❤️

We invite our friends, neighbors, and community businesses to join us in making a difference by donating new bedding or making a monetary contribution.

Even a small donation can make a BIG difference in a child's life. Together, we can provide more than just a bed—we can provide comfort, security, and sweet dreams.

Thank you for helping us make a difference right here in our community!
