SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE TX-MELISSA, SERVING MELISSA, ANNA AND CELINA, TX

The Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) TX-Melissa (serving Anna, Melissa and Celina) invites you to join us in making a meaningful impact on children's lives in our community. We are a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) national organization of over 350 chapters that builds and delivers beds to local children who don't have a bed of their own. Our mission aligns perfectly with businesses, churchs, schools and any organization looking to demonstrate social responsibility while engaging in meaningful community service.

Did you know that approximately 2-3% of children in our community don't have their own bed? That means right here in Melissa, Anna and Celina, children are sleeping on couches, sharing beds, or even sleeping on the floor. You can understand the importance of a good night's sleep for productivity and well-being - imagine trying to succeed in school without one

Building More Than Beds: A Journey of Service and Growth

At Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), we believe service is about much more than constructing beds for kids in need. Our mission of NO KID SLEEPS ON THE FLOOR IN OUR TOWN! extends to building communities, transforming lives, and creating opportunities for personal growth and learning. Every bed we build demonstrates the power of service and the incredible potential that emerges when people come together with a shared purpose.

The Ripple Effect of a Good Night's Sleep

Every bed built by an SHP volunteer represents comfort, security, and hope for a child who may have been sleeping on the floor. The impact of a good night's sleep cannot be overstated - it affects a child's health, education, and overall well-being.

Everyone Has a Role to Play
We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming environment where every volunteer can contribute. Not comfortable with power tools? We have roles for sorting, measuring, staining, quality checking, community outreach and bed deliveries. Our builds are designed to be accessible to all, ensuring everyone can be part of our mission to end child bedlessness.

Growing Together, Serving Together
As our volunteers learn and grow, so do our communities. Each bed represents a collective effort, a shared commitment to making a difference. We're building stronger, more compassionate communities, one bed at a time
