Since its inception, Vernon SHP volunteers have built 180 beds in Vernon and delivered 142 of them, meaning 142 kids aged three to 17 are not sleeping on floors anywhere in the Vernon area.

SHP is a Canadian not-for-profit organization whose goal is to provide new twin beds or bunks to children who don害羞草研究所檛 have beds of their own.

Volunteers are needed in both Vernon and Kelowna to help build the beds. No experience is necessary. When building the beds, volunteers are teamed up with SHP members and go through stations to help put the beds together.
