One simple and powerful goal: Provide new beds to kids
Your gifts provide children in the Twin Cities with comfortable, safe places to sleep.
With new beds and Dream Kits, kids experience the benefits of sleep, which include improved performance in school, better behavior, emotional stability, and more.
Stable housing and a restorative night's rest can give kids the boost they need to catch up to their peers in school and achieve their personal potential. Productive sleep creates productive kids in our communities.
There are many ways to give and all help kids dream!
