Build-A-Bed
How Your Kids Can Help
Sweet Sleep’s vision is to provide “a bed for every head.” We need your help to bring sweet sleep to the world’s 210 million orphaned and abandoned children.
Mission Projects for Kids
You can help your kids help kids halfway around the world through Sweet Sleep’s Build-A-Bed Project. Your kids can take up offerings and see how many beds they can build while learning about the needs of orphaned and abandoned children.
Resources
- $20 provides one pillow and vinyl pillow cover
- $50 provides one set of sheets and a blanket
- $80 provides one mattress and vinyl mattress cover
- $100 provides one new bed frame
- $250 provides one complete Sweet Sleep bed
- $3,000 fills an entire room in a Third World orphanage with new beds
- Flexible! You pick your project dates – VBS, summer camp, fall retreat, Sunday School – anytime is a great time to teach your kids about the needs of orphans.
- Easy! Once you pick your dates, we’ll get you the materials you need to get your kids fired up about helping orphans sleep sweetly including videos, promotional pieces, missions moments and more.
- Effective. More than likely, every kid in your church has a bed and can relate to a child that may not have a clean, comfortable place to sleep. Build-A-Bed partners have raised thousands of dollars for beds for orphans: 100 preschoolers collected $1,000 during VBS, 300 4th-6th graders gave over $3,500 at summer camp, and 350 school-aged kids raised over $5,000 at VBS! How much can your kids raise? You’ll be amazed how your kids connect with helping other kids.
The Build-A-Bed Project is:
"I've never seen a mission project that our kids related to so well! It made sense - our kids could help other kids have a new, comfortable and safe place to sleep. Our kids really got behind this project and gave more than they ever have before!"
- Connie Hartzell, Preschool Minister, ClearView Baptist Church
