2nd Annual Community Bed Build
On Saturday, March 14, 2026, we’re coming together to build beds for local children — and you’re invited.
PROVEN LOCAL IMPACT
Last Year, Our Community Made This Happen
In our first annual bed build, community support helped us raise over $5,000 and build 20 beds for local children.
This year, we’re expanding that impact — and inviting local businesses and community partners to join us through team volunteering, donations, or in-kind support.
Together, we can help more children sleep safely and comfortably.

LET'S DRIVE CHANGE
A Community That Shows Up Makes a Difference
Right here in our community, children are sleeping on the floor — not because their parents don’t care, but because life gets hard.
A bed isn’t just furniture. It’s comfort, dignity, and a place to feel safe.
This bed build turns compassion into action.

Local Businesses Making a Real Difference
Dufrene has committed to donating all of the lumber needed for this build — ensuring every bed frame is fully covered before volunteers even arrive.
Because of their support, every dollar donated goes further, directly helping provide mattresses, sheets, pillows, and blankets so each child receives a complete, ready-to-sleep bed.
