Volunteers build dozens of beds for Evansville children
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) — Sleep in Heavenly Peace and its Evansville chapter are making a difference for children.
About 60 volunteers are building beds for them on the east side on Saturday.
Volunteers say some children they help are sleeping on couches and floors.
Since 2020, the Evansville chapter has built 2,000 beds, but another 3,000 kids do not have one.
The organization says it's always looking for people to join, and no experience is needed.
You can find on Facebook: Sleep In Heavenly Peace Evansville. You can contact us through that. You can also just show up here,' says volunteer Mike Primus. 'It's the second Saturday of every single month. We start at 8:00 sharp. By 11:30, we're cleaning up. Everybody's out the door at noon.'
The 51 beds built on Saturday morning will be delivered to children next month.
39 beds from last month were delivered this morning.
