As a nonprofit organization, Sleep in Heavenly Peace relies on donations and volunteer crews help with assembling and delivering bedding for children and families in need year-round. Giving Tuesday is a huge celebration event to get more community members involved on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.

Children may have different daily responsibilities, but when good sleep is elusive, a good day at school or even at play can be difficult.

As a parent, getting a good night’s sleep may always be an ongoing concern. But what can you do if you are concerned about the quality of your child's sleep?
