Bed Delivery Team Volunteer

We deliver fully furnished beds to families of children who do not have a bed of their own.

These beds are delivered on weekdays and on the weekends.

Delivery team leads, along with one or two additional volunteers, deliver and assemble the beds in the homes of families who have requested these beds and are approved.

The bed headboards, side rails, mattresses and bedding are carried into the home and assembled in the location as directed by the parent or guardian.  If the children are home at the time of the delivery, we encourage them to help us with the assembly process.

e-mail Jeff Mogg at [email protected] if you would like try this type of volunteering or if your would like to be placed on our delivery team e-mail list.

How you help

Our volunteers find their hearts full of emotion as often we are giving a child the very first bed of their own. Seeing parents’ eyes become teary with gratefulness fills a volunteer with a sense of overwhelming joy in being able to serve others while reminding them to appreciate the blessings in their own life. Seeing the children’s faces as they climb into their newly delivered beds is a moment not easily forgotten.

About us

At SHP, 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.
