Lowe’s, Sleep in Heavenly Peace to Build 125 Beds for local children

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Volunteers will gather at Lowe’s in Wilmington on Saturday, Sept. 12, to build beds for local children in need as part of Sleep in Heavenly Peace’s annual Bunks Across America initiative.

The event will run from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Lowe’s located at 5110 S. College Road.

Lowe’s and Sleep in Heavenly Peace are working with volunteers to build 125 beds for children in Wilmington and the surrounding area. The beds are intended to provide children with a safe and comfortable place to sleep.

The event is part of Bunks Across America, which organizers describe as the largest single bed-building event in the nation. This year, the national initiative aims to build 12,000 beds.

Volunteers can participate in the hands-on bed-building event, with organizers encouraging families and community members to take part.

People who want to support the effort without volunteering at the build can also participate in a bedding donation drive.
