Community Covenant Church Hosts Bed Build

The Kearney Community Covenant Church is asking Kearney residents to help with a “Sleep in Heavenly Peace” bed build this fall.

The bed build idea was started in Kimberly, ID, with the idea to provide handmade beds to children who don’t have beds of their own. This build is for kids in the Platte and Clay County area.

Volunteers from the Kansas City North Chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace will build, deliver, and set up a minimum of 80 beds complete with bedding and a stuffed toy for area children.

To accomplish this build, volunteers need at least $20,000. The Kearney Covenant Church is accepting donations in any amount for this event. Residents can send money to Community Covenant Church P.O. Box 318, Kearney, MO 64060. People can also donate online at KearneyCovenant.com/giving.
