SPAAR seeking help to deliver beds on Thursday, September 19, for nonprofit My Very Own Bed

Volunteers needed for Thursday, September 19, to help deliver beds. All SPAAR members are welcome to volunteer.

My Very Own Bed (MVOB) gives children their very own bed—a place to sleep, dream and recharge. All too often, children transitioning to permanent housing are sleeping on the floor, an air mattress or sharing a bed with their parents or siblings. With volunteer support, MVOB gives children a space of their own while supporting productive sleep to help them learn and grow.

SPAAR will be partnering with MVOB for two service opportunities in September 18 and 19; there are many volunteers for September 18 (thanks to all who signed up); however, volunteers are still needed for September 19, to help deliver beds.

DAY ONE: HELP ASSEMBLE BEDS and FRAMES -- thanks to all who signed up to volunteer!

Wednesday, September 18, 10am to 12pm: register here!

Help make the bed—literally! SPAAR’s volunteer team will assemble bed frames. No special skills or experience required. Tools and supplies will be provided.

DAY TWO: HELP DELIVER BEDS and DREAM KITS -- VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED!

Thursday, September 19, 9am to 12:30pm: register here!

Help deliver bed frames to families--and children—who need them. SPAAR’s volunteer team will deliver and set up bed frames, mattresses and Dream Kits.* No special skills or experience required. Volunteers will lift and transport mattresses. Tools and supplies will be provided. *A Dream Kit includes a mattress pad, bedding for a twin size bed, stuffed animal and more!
