SOUTHERN ILLINOIS — A new chapter of the organization Sleep in Heavenly Peace is preparing to start serving southern Illinois next year, and they’re currently looking for beds, mattresses, and other bedding material to provide to kids and families in need in 2019.

New Rend Lake Sleep in Heavenly Peace Chapter President Dan Bearden says this organization will serve a need often overlooked when looking to serve those in need of help.

Bearden says in addition to bedding materials, the organization is looking for monetary donations or volunteers to serve once they begin distributing beds. For more information on the Sleep in Heavenly Peace Rend Lake Chapter, you can visit their Facebook page here.
