The current situation with the COVID-19 pandemic has affected every person, every industry, and every organization in myriad ways. For nonprofit organizations, stay-at-home orders, concerns over the virus's spread, and economic fears all add up to a new world of uncertainty.
Many children sleep on a floor or couch or share a bed, often without a pillow or blanket, let alone any sufficient bedding. Especially in the cold winter nights, the need for a comfortable place to sleep to be refreshed to attend school and find joy in play is essential for kids in all communities.
This year provides another opportunity for you to give back to your community. Are you looking for ways to donate hours or financially this year? Do you have new goals for contributing to families in your community?
We are proud to announce a new partnership with StorageMart to provide beds for kids who are sleeping on the floor in our towns. StorageMart saw the need for beds for kids in their cities and through their charitable initiative called Store It Forward, and has stepped up to help SHP provide a solution for the national bed crisis.
Did you know that, all across America, kids from needy or struggling families are sleeping on the floor because they don't have a safe, comfortable bed? Today we'll take a closer look at the National Bed Crisis, what it means for kids, and how you can help.
