Why is the need so great?

Furniture banks around the county battle the lack of mattresses.  They are expensive and most people do not buy them very often so the supply is low.  Hotels do rotate them in our area every 4 years but most do not use twin sized and that is our biggest demand due to the small size of the average Low income apartment.   

It is a national problem.  Most people keep mattresses for many years. After a few years, most are generally not suitable for other users.  And most people do not want to sleep in a second hand bed.

We do work through many avenues both corporate and private to secure bulk donations but the demand far exceeds the supply.

Beds for Kids Program 

Too many kids will sleep on hard cold floors tonight for lack of a bed. You can help.

SPONSOR A BED

For a $100 donation  we can provide a  new mattress set, frame and bedding to a local child. 

(Price increased 1/10)

On an average day we have more than 100 children in Lowell alone, sleeping on the floor  while they wait for mattresses.

This is a great project for a penny jar or small school fundraiser. Download the Flier for the Collection Jar

Each month we give out roughly 50 beds including: mattresses sets, cribs, beds, sleeper couches, cots and recliners (for heart patients).   But we never have enough beds. There are always kids on the wait list.  More than 2/3 of our clients are kids. 

We welcome your donated clean mattresses to supplement the ones we  procure from large donations coming in from hotels and colleges.  Folding beds frames are always welcome too. We can purchase mattress sets for $100 per set when we have the donations to pay for them. 

Our goal  is to get all the families on our list and living in our area up into safe warm beds this year.  With your help, we can make it happen.
