Sleep in Heavenly Peace

“Silent Night” is one of the most well-known traditional Christmas carols sung around the world. Around the holiday season, the words “Sleep in Heavenly Peace” mean so much more, especially to us. The popular song will always have such a deeper meaning and impact in our hearts, as it reminds us of the hope and peace that we can bring to the hearts of children and families in our own towns. Sleep in Heavenly Peace had its start in Idaho during Christmas time, a time of joy and happiness, a time of giving and love, but also a time of bitter, cold weather and snow storms. A project that started with the build of one bed for a single family developed into something so much more significant. We now have over 300 chapters in the country and going strong. This is the first of the chapters here in North Carolina.

We fully believe that a bed is a basic need for the proper physical, emotional, and mental support that a child needs. When it was brought to our attention that the need for beds went far beyond our own neighborhoods, we stepped up and took initiative. We’re a national organization answering the call to a national problem. All children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads. In Idaho and across the U.S., too many boys and girls go without a bed – or even a pillow – to sleep on. These children end up sleeping on couches, blankets, and even floors. This can affect their happiness and health. That’s where Sleep in Heavenly Peace comes in. We’re a group of volunteers dedicated to building, assembling and delivering top-notch bunk beds to children and families in need. Our organization has grown steadily over time, and we’re working on opening more chapters in different states to serve more people. No kid sleeps on the floor in our town!®.

No child, should ever go without a bed. Our vision stems from this belief, and that’s why we do what we do. We will always think of the children that we have built beds for and given bedding, knowing that they are now sleeping in beds that are all their own.

SHP provides bunk beds for Children and families in need. We are always looking for volunteers, sponsorships and in kind donations of new twin sheets, pillows and comforters.
