Help a child become who they were meant to be.
Sleep is essential to everyone, but especially to a growing child. Their physical, emotional, psychological and intellectual development depends on their getting quality sleep, but so many face obstacles to that end- including not having a bed.
V & C Fundraising is working with A Bed for Every Child to provide beds for previously unhoused children. We want to further support them as they grow by providing Lifeline Scholarships for those needs that are not covered by traditional means.
The Need
There are children in Massachusetts experience a quiet, invisible need for the very basics - food, shelter, clothing, and beds. Vitale & Clifford Fundraising supports A Bed for Every Child - a non-profit organizations whose mission is to fill the need for beds.
This initiative of the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless averages over 15 bed delivery stops per day, often giving more than one bed to each family. This year, over 2000 Massachusetts children have been given beds, complete with mattresses, a “sweet dreams” bedding package, and a teddy bear. They also provide books and clothing when they are able. The waiting list is growing every day.
“At A Bed for Every Child, we believe sleep is just as essential as food, water, shelter, and clothing — and that all children deserve space to dream.”
