Ongoing Community Campaign

$250 Beds for Kids Challenge

Tonight, 20,000 Metro Detroit children will sleep without a bed of their own.

These children may sleep on a sofa, share a bed with a family member, or even sleep on the floor.

Every child deserves a safe, comfortable place to sleep and a place to dream about tomorrow.

This holiday season, you can help make that possible.

Amplify Your Impact!

Every 9 beds funded = 1 bed donated by Serta Restokraft

Thanks to our friends at Serta Restokraft Mattress Company, your generosity goes even further.

For every nine twin mattresses funded by donors, Serta Restokraft will donate one more, helping even more children sleep safely through the night.

Take the Challenge

What if you could help 10 children have a bed of their own this holiday season?

You can! Rally your friends, family, neighbors or coworkers and raise $2,500 to provide 10 children with complete bed sets.

Getting started is easy. Create your personal fundraising page, set your goal and share it with your network. Fundraise on your own, start a team or join an existing one.

And remember, you don’t have to do it alone. Just five friends contributing $25 each puts you halfway to funding a child’s bed. Imagine what a group of friends, a workplace or an entire community can accomplish together!
