Volunteers needed for Bunks Across America build event

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI)- Volunteers are needed Saturday morning, to help build bunk beds as part of Sleep in Heavenly Peace's Bunks Across America build day.

The annual event is a day for communities nationwide to get together to build beds for children who don’t have beds to sleep in.

"This day should stand as a revelation to those who don’t know there is a problem and a beacon of hope to those who don’t know there is a solution. We want as many people as possible to get involved to be a part of the solution," their event page reads.

Levi Shaffer, the director of development for SHP said this is the third year of the event.

"We'll have 150 locations across the United States that are building beds on this day," Shaffer said.

He also said nationwide the plan is to build 7,500 beds. In Idaho Falls, the goal is 60.

The Rexburg chapter is hosting their build at Lowes in Idaho Falls, starting at 8:30 a.m. Anyone ages 10 and up is welcome to join.
