Sleep in Heavenly Peace- Lansing (SHP) is a non-profit organization. Many charities provide clothing, meals, and toys to families in need. But as wonderful as this aid is, few organizations offer suitable beds and bedding to children in those families. There are an estimated 6,000 children who are without beds in the Greater Lansing community. Sleep in Heavenly Peace volunteers build beds to meet the physical and emotional needs of children 3-17 years of age. The organization also provides mattresses and bedding to those local families.
