Buy a Child a New Bed
Sadly, many children cannot count on a comfortable place to sleep every night. They may be sleeping on a cot, couch, or cold floor with just a blanket to cover them. Not only is this uncomfortable, it creates health, social and developmental issues. Sleep is a basic need for every child, much like food and shelter. The majority of families coming to the Furniture Bank are single women with at least 3 children. Often these families are moving into small apartments and need twin beds for their children. However, most beds donated to the Furntiure Bank are full or queen size. Donate today to help the Furniture Bank close the gap between the number of twin mattresses donated and the number of twin mattresses requested by clients. Refurbished twin mattress sets (mattress and box spring) cost $63.00.
