The non-profit Sleep in Heavenly Peace was busy on Saturday, cranking out 25 sturdy beds for children who don\u2019t have their own.<\/p>\n

Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a national nonprofit that started in 2012. The group estimates that as of the end of 2022, it had more than 300 chapters in 44 states. <\/p>\n
