Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a nationwide organization that believes that “a bed is a basic requirement for the proper physical, emotional and mental support” that a child needs.
Our local Sleep in Heavenly Peace affiliate is the Tallahassee Chapter (SHPTLH). As a part of this chapter, we launched a distribution center in Wakulla County in June. We started with 40 beds and have depleted our inventory through many deliveries to families in need.
