Sleep in Heavenly Peace Breaks Record With World's Largest Single-Day Bed Delivery Event
Through Deliveries Across America, we're not just delivering furniture--we're delivering dignity, hope, and the message that every child matters, no matter their circumstance.”
POCATELLO, ID, UNITED STATES, December 17, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), the nation's leading nonprofit dedicated to ending child bedlessness, achieved a monumental milestone this holiday season with its annual Deliveries Across America (DAA) event held on December 13, 2025.— Jordan Allen, executive director of SHP
This year's DAA shattered records, with 158 SHP chapters participating nationwide, delivering a remarkable 3,268 beds to children who lack a safe and comfortable place to sleep, and serving 1,422 families or households––an average of 2.3 beds per application. Over 2,750 volunteers, contributing more than 6,500 dedicated service hours, made this heartwarming accomplishment possible--propelling SHP beyond its ambitious goal of delivering 83,000 beds by year-end.
"This holiday season reminds us that giving isn't just about what we can afford--it's about what children need," said Jordan Allen, executive director at SHP. "A bed isn't a luxury. It's the foundation for a child's health, education, and future. Through Deliveries Across America, we're not just delivering furniture--we're delivering dignity, hope, and the message that every child matters, no matter their circumstance."
– The Impact of a Bed –
Millions of children in the U.S. face the harsh reality of child bedlessness, having no alternative but to sleep on couches, floors, or share beds with siblings. A bed is more than wood and screws—it's the foundation for healthy sleep that supports a child's physical, mental and emotional well-being. For SHP's volunteers and donors, building and delivering these beds offers a profound sense of purpose through shared service.
DAA exemplifies SHP's mission in action, bringing comfort and peace of mind to families facing child bedlessness. Founded during Christmas time in 2012, SHP has grown to a nationwide movement of volunteers who have built and delivered more than 360,000 beds to children in need—powered by local chapters and partnerships with businesses and community organizations across the country.
"I was skeptical at first but I figured God was guiding me for a reason so I filled out the bed application and it’s legit." said a mother in Northern Indiana. "On top of building the beds they also provided brand new mattresses, bedding, and pillows for my kids! We were so excited and grateful. The volunteers were super awesome! Life happens and I had no idea resources like this were out there until I saw a video on social media."
