TWIN FALLS, IDAHO, UNITED STATES, April 27, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) is honored to announce a $3 million donation from Lowe’s over the next two years to help address the gap in beds needed for children, making a difference to improve access to safe and affordable housing in our communities. Lowe’s has partnered with the nonprofit since supporting its initial build event in Twin Falls, Idaho in 2012.

“From my garage to the first bed delivered, Lowe’s has been an integral partner for SHP. The partnership that we have created together has serviced over 150,000 children who have been sleeping in very uncomfortable situations,” said SHP Founder and Executive Director Luke Mickelson. “Without Lowe’s support and ongoing partnership, SHP would not be able to reach so many children in need.”

Sleep in Heavenly Peace has several programs set up for its chapters to use Lowe’s funds, including a fund to help new chapters get off the ground.

The donation from Lowe’s will also support SHP’s annual nationwide event, Bunks Across America (BAA), where thousands of volunteers from local chapters come together for a one-day build. In 2022, 159 SHP chapters held BAA builds, including some in the parking lots of more than two dozen Lowe’s stores. Together, Lowe’s associates and volunteers from SHP helped build 5,800 beds, the largest BAA event in the organization’s history.

Since 2022, Sleep in Heavenly Peace has held bunk bed builds at the Lowe's Foundation's annual “Swing for Charity” golf tournament fundraisers to support the Foundation's goal of training 50,000 skilled tradespeople over the next five years. This week, the Lowe’s Foundation is hosting a build in Hilton Head, South Carolina, with events also scheduled for September in Napa, California, and October in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Over the next two years, SHP plans to build over 100,000 beds for kids sleeping on the floor across the country, made possible because of this strategic partnership.
