Sleep In Heavenly Peace - IA, Spirit Lake

10/19/2026

We spy a Spirit Lake fan and visitor in this photo! The lake attracts friends and visitors from all over the world and SHP inspires volunteers to help make that world a better place for kids. We are proud of all SHP volunteers and are so happy that our work in Iowa has inspired this special Spirit Lake visitor to seek out her local SHP chapter in New York. From the Midwest to upstate NY, !

Quick group shot (before everyone gets sand-dusty😉) of the incredible group about to build 50 beds with the Colonie-Guilderland Rotary Club!!

Included in this group are also some members of the Albany Mosaic and Scotia Glenville Rotary Clubs, a great group from the Civil Air Patrol, AND individuals from Five Star Bath Solutions of Albany and Mattress Firm (sponsors of their fund raising golf event).

Our thanks to ALL of these incredible volunteers gathered here on this chilly morning to held End Child Bedlessness!!❤️🛏

This September, Sleep in Heavenly Peace is on a mission: build 12,000 beds for kids across the country who don’t have a bed to call their own.
We had 43 people volunteer today at our Bunks Across America Bed Build event. We are so grateful!
Our volunteers helped us make 25 beds to deliver over the next several months.

No child should have to sleep on the floor. Your donation during our 8th annual Bunks Across America initiative helps us build and deliver beds — giving the comfort, safety, and dignity every child deserves.

Our volunteers helped us to build the bed frames. You can help us by donating for the mattresses and bedding.

Consider supporting a child in the Iowa Great Lakes Region with the following:
☁️ $5 = one pillow
🩵 $10 = one set of sheets
🛌 $25 = one comforter
💤 $250 = one complete twin bed
✨ $500 = one complete bunk bed
Thank you for helping us ensure every kid gets a good night’s sleep! And thank you to our awesome volunteers today!!!

We had a record day! 26 beds in 2.5 hours! To our volunteers: THANK YOU! In one morning, you were an integral part of making sure 26 kids in the Iowa Great Lakes region will have a bed of their own this year. That’s incredible. To our donors: THANK YOU! Your donations of quilts, bedding, and funding have helped us make sure that those 26 kids have a pillow under their heads and a blanket to keep them warm.

Does this look like fun (it is!)? Our last bed build of the summer is in September. The beds we build over the summers are then delivered throughout the rest of the year. We couldn’t do it without our volunteers. Use this link to sign up for our September 19th build:
