SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE (SHP) – DE PERE, WI CHAPTER
Calling All Our Lady of Lourdes Students and Families
Are you looking for ways you can help make a difference for kids in your local community this Advent season???
Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School has agreed to partner with Sleep in Heavenly Peace to help school age children in the De Pere (Brown County) community by bringing smiles to kids’ faces when they receive their very own bed from Sleep in Heavenly Peace.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) is a national, registered 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that has a newly founded Chapter in De Pere. SHP is the only charity providing hand-made bunk beds to children in Brown County from the ages of 3-17 who do not have beds of their own. SHP partners with organizations, churches, schools, businesses, and individuals/families like you to help build beds at events called Build Days so “no kid sleeps on the floor in our town!” The De Pere Chapter was started in February 2021 and recently delivered its 200th bed in our local community.
The SHP De Pere Chapter just had a build day on November 6, 2021 where we were able to build 65 more beds for the upcoming holiday season. Every bed built and given to a child comes with a new twin mattress, new twin sheets, new twin comforter, and a new standard pillow.
How can you help?
Consider donating any of the following items during Our Lady of Lourdes Advent project from December 1-17, 2021.
SHP needs include brand NEW:
- Standard-sized pillows
- Twin comforters
- Twin sheet sets
- Twin blankets
- Twin waterproof mattress pads
- Books (ages 3-17)
- Monetary donations (donated funds are used by SHP to purchase lumber, tools, and twin mattresses).
*** Solid Colors (gender neutral) and bed-in-a-bag sets are perfect!
