“No kid sleeps on the floor in our town” is the motto of Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) organization.  Michael Siegel, of Houston-Central chapter, spoke to WWCH club members at the August meeting about SHP whose mission is to construct simply designed and efficiently made beds for children.  Volunteers gather monthly to pre-cut 2x4s, 2x6s, and 1x4s, prepare boards for assembly, and then deliver them to homes where the beds are then assembled on site – at no cost to the recipients.SHP, nationwide, with the help of 14,780 volunteers, has constructed 4,144 bunks, taking 9,253 kids off the floor.
