All children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads. Across the US, too many boys and girls go without a bed—or even a pillow—and often end up sleeping on couches, blankets, and even floors. 

The mission of Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) is to ensure that no kid sleeps on the floor. SHP believes that a bed is a basic need for the proper physical, emotional, and mental support that a child needs. As you can imagine, this is a huge task and they can’t do it on their own. They need our help to make a difference!  

St. Max will be working with the Butler County chapter of SHP. Won’t you help a child in need this Lent? We will be collecting NEW, TWIN size sheets, blankets, pillows and pillow cases throughout Lent. A gift of $250 will sponsor an entire bed for one child. This includes the cost of materials, mattresses, and bedding. For every $7000 collected, we will be able to build 40 beds.

If a child needs a bed, help us ensure they get one! 

One-Time Gift

On Sunday, May 7, 1-5PM, we will hold a Build Day on the parish parking lot. Volunteers will learn valuable trade and craft skills while networking and building relationships. SHP will provide all power tools and hand tools for volunteers to build bunk beds. Children between the ages of 10 and 15 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Please, no children under 10 due to the nature of the work we will be doing.
