\u00c2\u00a0Bend, Ore., June 27, 2023<\/strong>\u2014Hayden Homes<\/a> recently partnered with the Deschutes County Chapter of Sleep In Heavenly Peace to build or refurbish 75 beds for local children who would otherwise sleep on the floor, on couches, or in shared beds with parents or siblings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Story<\/a> nonprofit, founded by Hayden Homes, also donated $10,000 to further the work of Sleep in Heavenly Peace<\/a>. Each bed costs $250 including lumber, mattress, and bedding, and the donation from First Story will help to fund future projects for the nonprofit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A team of 71 volunteers turned out for the event, including 50 team members from Hayden Homes, Simplicity, New Home Star, and First Story\u2014plus an additional 11 volunteers from Lowe\u2019s and 10 from Sleep in Heavenly Peace. Together the group turned out a new bed every 2.5 minutes and completed 75 beds needed by local families who had been on a waitlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe event was just a tremendous success, said Joseph Meyers, Sleep in Heavenly Peace Deschutes County Chapter President. \u201cThe volunteers who came from Hayden Homes were absolutely priceless. They all worked really hard that day, plus Hayden Homes donated money to buy the materials. It was a pretty amazing day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
