During an SHP Build Day, volunteers take raw lumber and some easy-to-use tools to build handmade bunk beds for the children in our town who are sleeping on the floor. These events are made possible by generous donations from individuals and local sponsors.
During Build Days, we like to make the most of our time for efficiency's sake, but we also like everyone to have fun! Volunteers age 12+ help build our beds, so the entire process is very family friendly and provides a great experience for many ages.
Purpose
Building beds for kids! At the end of the event, what was once a giant pile of lumber is now components that SHP can use to get a local child off the floor and into a bed of their very own!
Role
During an SHP Build Day, volunteers take raw lumber and some easy-to-use tools to build handmade bunk beds for the children in our town who are sleeping on the floor. Through our simple and easy-to-follow process, anyone can participate even if you have no previous woodworking experience.
Vibe
Experiencing the buzz, energy, and excitement of dozens of volunteers throughout all the bed building stations working side-by-side is super fun.
