Dream Big Campaign Bed Build with Sleep in Heavenly Peace Alameda Chapter

Oakland Bed Build June 6-7, 2025

We are walking alongside the Alameda Chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) is committed to ensuring that NO KID SLEEPS ON THE FLOOR IN OUR TOWN! However, the growing need for beds in Oakland, CA has surpassed the chapter’s current capacity to serve families in the area. To bridge this gap, SHP is hosting a special Bed Build Day in Oakland—a community-driven effort to bring people together, raise awareness and provide children with the comfort and security of a bed to call their own.

Bringing Hope and Comfort to Children in Need in Oakland

The Mission: To Ensure “No Kid Sleep on The Floor in Oak-Town “
Too many children in our communities sleep without a bed. That’s why we decided to partner with Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), a national organization that is dedicated to ensuring that every child has a bed to sleep on in every town.

Across the U.S., over 154,171 children are waiting for a bed. The Rising PHX Foundation | Dream Builders Campaign with partnership with Sleep In Heavenly Peace, is answering the call in Oakland, CA, to build and deliver beds to children in need, bringing dignity, rest, and hope.

Event Overview

Friday, June 6, 2025 – Build Day: Volunteers will gather to build quality bunk beds. No experience necessary—just a heart to serve!

Saturday, June 7, 2025 – Delivery Day: We’ll distribute the finished beds to families, complete with mattresses, pillows, and bedding sets. This is the moment when our hard work transforms into smiles and restful nights for children in need.

Why Oakland?

Oakland is home to resilient families facing economic hardships. Many children here experience ‘bedlessness,’ a silent crisis that affects their well-being and ability to thrive. Our goal is to bring tangible support and a sense of belonging to the community by meeting this essential need.

The Need in Oakland

Oakland has one of the highest rates of child poverty in Alameda County. Many families face housing instability, forcing children to sleep on floors, couches, or share overcrowded sleeping arrangements.
SHP Alameda has received hundreds of bed requests from Oakland families, but due to resource and volunteer limitations, has been unable to fulfill all of them.
By increasing community engagement and partnerships in Oakland, we can create sustainable support to help meet the ongoing need.

Projected Impact of this Bed Build Day in Oakland

Number of Beds Built: 100
Children Served: 100 kids in need will receive a new bed, complete with a mattress, bedding, and a pillow.
Community Engagement: Local residents, businesses, and organizations will come together to support their neighbors, strengthening Oakland’s spirit of service.
Long-Term Expansion: Increased awareness and participation will help establish a stronger volunteer base and donor network in Oakland, allowing the Alameda Chapter to expand its service reach in the future.
