District 9 will be Hosting a Bed Building Event for the 3rd year in a row at Sleep in Heavenly Peace in Alton
Dear Brothers, Sisters and Friends
Join us for the opportunity to improve a child’s comfort by teaming up with Sleep in Heavenly Peace by building beds for local children. The experienced volunteers at SHP will teach you the different stages of the construction process and then assign you to a station. Experiencing the buzz, energy, and excitement of dozens of volunteers throughout all the stations working side-by-side is super fun. And at the end of the event, what was once a giant pile of lumber is now components that SHP can use to get a local child off the floor and into a bed of their very own! Everyone is welcome, no wood working skills needed. Bring the kids as well.
This event will take place on June 13, 2026 at 9AM to 12PM in Alton, Illinois.
We are accepting donations for brand new twin sized sheet sets,
twin comforter/bed-in-a-bag and standard size pillows. bring them to the event if you are volunteering or drop them by the Local or District offices for collection.
We will also have opportunity to deliver the newly built beds.
There is a limited group size for deliveries. Please let us know if you’re interested in being part of the delivery team.
All volunteers must register using the link.
