Volunteer with Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan (CCSEM) and Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) to help build 50 beds for children in need.
CCSEM serves as the charitable arm of the Archdiocese of Detroit, while SHP is a volunteer-driven nonprofit dedicated to ending childhood bedlessness. Each bed is handcrafted by volunteers who generously donate their time and talents to support children in their communities. These efforts are made possible by the generous donations of many.
Join us in this powerful act of mercy and service, helping ensure that no child sleeps on the floor.
Volunteer jobs include cutting, sanding, drilling, assembling, staining, and branding.
