Best Practices

  • Connect with local businesses to see if they can help donate materials or provide mattresses at a discount.  

  • Share what God is doing through your team on social media or at your church.  Keep track of the number of beds delivered and tell stories of hope. 

  • Have all volunteers sign a liability waiver since they will be working with power tools.  Come up with a plan to make sure they are properly trained. 

  • When possible, arrange a time to deliver beds directly to the family and let the children assemble their new beds.  

  • Consider who might partner with your church for a bedding or mattress drive. 

  • Train your delivery team on how connect with dignity.  This is a great resource:
