March is Sleep Awareness Month!
Beds For Sleepyheads, presented by Strategic Benefits, is New Life Furniture Bank's annual giving event to raise funds to buy beds for kids in our community who are sleeping on the floor. New Life Furniture Bank will deliver full house furnishings to nearly 2,500 families this year, and we need your help to fund this mission.
Host a pillow or bedding drive to help us provide an estimated 2,500 NEW bed pillows and clean bedding this year!
Make a donation to our “Beds For Sleepyheads” campaign to purchase a complete bed set, deliver, and set up in the home of a child.
Donate clean, gently used mattresses & box springs and they will go directly into the home of a child in need. Click below to schedule a drop off or pick up of your items.
Your financial donations are critically needed to get a child off the floor and into a comfortable bed. Your generosity will provide stability and comfort to our most vulnerable neighbors in need.
The Urgent Need for Your SUPPORT: Empowering Children through Beds
In Cincinnati, 40% of children are living in poverty, a staggering number that resonates with the dire need for intervention. Many of these children lack something so basic – a bed to sleep in, a place to dream and rest.
Last year, we delivered 2,035 beds – a remarkable achievement. Yet, as the number of families in need continues to rise, this year’s aspiration soars even higher: to provide over 2,100 beds, extending a lifeline to children in need and helping them transition from the floor to a cozy bed. We need your financial support to make this dream come true!
Kids are often sleeping on the floor in a pile of blankets when they are referred to us for a furniture delivery.
This sweet little girl was so excited to receive her new bed for the first time!
A Harsh Reality: Children Sleeping on the Floor
In our very own community, an unsettling reality persists: countless children lay their heads on the cold, hard floor each night, robbed of the basic comfort of a bed. The stark truth is that families grappling with poverty often find themselves unable to afford beds for every member. This forces children to share cramped spaces with parents or siblings, curl up in sleeping bags, or endure the cruel reality of sleeping on the unforgiving floor.
The Impact of Childhood Poverty: Beyond the Physical
Childhood poverty casts a far-reaching shadow, impacting not only a child’s physical well-being but also their emotional and psychological states. Nutrition suffers, self-perception takes a hit, and behavior is influenced. Amongst these struggles, bed-poverty emerges as a particularly heart-wrenching issue, further amplifying the hardships that disadvantaged children endure.
Turning Donations into DREAMS
We are critically in need of financial donations to support our mission of providing beds for kids in need. If you are able, please consider a donation of $500, as we can fully furnish a home for $500.
Does your company have a donation match program? If they do, please consider applying for a financial donation match from your company. This progream can multiply your impact!
No one deserves to sleep on the floor. We hope you will consider fueling our mission. Thank you!
