CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — A Mahomet charity says there are at least 50 kids in the area on a list who don’t have a bed to sleep on. Sleep in Heavenly Peace decreased that number on Saturday when more than 100 volunteers came together to make it zero.

People of all ages helped cut, sand and stain wood to make full frames at the Bed Build event at the WBGL Radio warehouse. They made 80 beds for kids who will now have a comfortable place to lay their heads.

“To me, it’s more than just building a bed. I mean, I think that’s a crafty type thing and people can get behind that. But when you start thinking, this isn’t about building beds and just using tools and stuff like that, you’re literally getting a kid off the floor so that they’re not sleeping on a hardwood floor,” Sleep in Heavenly Peace Vice President Mike Case said.

If you missed the event, they’ll be having another build, which is planned for April. People can also donate mattresses and sheets to make the beds complete.
