Beds Equal Dreams

Beds Equal Dreams is a ministry of Harrison Church. We provide beds to children who do not have a bed to call their own. Giving every child a chance to dream.

Beds Equal Dreams had our fall bed distribution on December 3rd. It was a fabulous day for our volunteers and the families we were able to serve. We gave out 44 beds with bedding to children from Charlotte Mecklenburg School system and Brookstone School.

Recently someone asked why we ask the families to give us $10 for a bed when we are donating it to them. The answer is simple - dignity. We want the parents to be able to tell the children they bought the bed for them. We then give them a gift card for $10. @harrisonumc

Yesterday we gave out 20 beds, mattresses, and bedding to children from CMS elementary schools. Many have never slept in a bed of their own. May they now rest peacefully. We received this poster from one of the schools. #GivingEveryChildAChanceToDream ⁦@harrisonumc⁩

Public
If you have built beds with us, donated bedding to us, helped load beds onto trucks or cars with us, or have just prayed for us- today you made a child's life better. This Christmas 25 children will sleep in their own bed, many for their first time, because of you. TY.

What a great opportunity to make a difference in a child’s life. Grab a name. Buy the bedding. Drop it off. Give it out with a bed. Imagine never having your own bed. #givingeverychildachancetodream

This is a good list of what it takes to get a bed loaded and on its way for a child to sleep on their own bed, some for the first time in their life. It takes a village. https://t.co/iu6CjctS6O

It looks like we will be distributing beds after the first of the year. Stay tuned for the announcement of when and where.

Many of these children have received beds from Beds Equal Dreams. Another way to help. They are not alone and should not be.

@pinevilleneigh is collecting funds for school supplies for at risk children @SterlingElem . $40 is all it takes to buy the supplies for one child. Time to step up. @harrisonumc @harrisonmission #MakeADifference

No decision yet but in light of the stay at home orders we may have to delay our spring Build A Bed and BED distribution.

[Beds Equal Dreams @bedsequaldreams]

Yesterday we gave out 16 of the 19 beds and bedding we had planned on distributing. We received the attached thank you note. The notes say it all. We are always disheartened when a family doesn’t show. With notes like these we realize we can only do what we are called to do.

Yesterday we had one of our most efficient focused Build A Bed events since our inception. First shift knocked all the hard stuff out - routing and sanding - so all that was left was testing the fit and banding it together. Several new folks showed up and made a big difference.

Today we had much smaller bed distribution. A small spring recess. It was perfect. Great families. Beautiful smiles. Five children will sleep well tonight. #MakingDreams #GivingEveryChildAChanceToDream ⁦@harrisonumc⁩ ⁦@Beds4EveryBody⁩

Several years ago B=D helped launch Central UMC’s bed ministry. We were just paying forward what COR did for us back in 2013. ⁦@Beds4EveryBody⁩ ⁦@harrisonumc⁩ ⁦@harrisonmission⁩ #GivingEveryChildAChanceToDream
