Doante by December 22nd and help provide
a good night's rest to kids who need it!
Imagine sleeping on
a hard, cold floor each night. Unfortunately, that is the reality for far too many
children in our community. For a child, a bed is more than a piece of furniture. It’s a
place to bounce, to launch superhero flights, and ultimately a comfortable place
to snuggle under the covers for a good night’s rest. Adequate sleep directly
impacts kids’ physical and mental health and enhances a
child's focus and learning at school. Children also benefit from having a
place to call their own; it increases their responsibility and independence.
You
can be a part of providing a comfortable bed to kids who
need them! The Civil Litigation Section is committed to finding ways in which
it can serve others and we are partnering again* with My Very Own
Bed
, a
local non-profit that provides new beds and linens to children in families who
have recently moved out of homelessness into more stable housing in the Twin
Cities.
