In June, YVC volunteers rocked the 'Bed Build' and now, we need your help to deliver these beds!
July 30, 31, Aug. 1, & 2: YVC will partner with Sleep in Heavenly Peace again to go into homes across the STL area and install these handmade beds for youth that do not have a bed of their own.

All youth will be accompanied by other volunteers and an adult chaperone - youth are encouraged to bring a lunch and wear clothes they can work comfortably in.
Visit YVC's website: https://yvc.org/st-louis/ OR email: [email protected] to get signed up!!

YVC is a network of affiliated organizations across the U.S. and Canada that engage youth ages 11-18 in team-based, structured, diverse, flexible service-learning opportunities.
