All children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads. Across the U.S., too many boys and girls go without a bed — or even a pillow — to sleep on. These children end up sleeping on couches, blankets, and even floors. This can affect their health and well-being.

Recently, 30 members of the Fredonia First United Methodist Church family spent a Saturday at the Eastern Hills Mall with Sleep in Heavenly Peace helping to build 25 beds for children in the Buffalo area that are currently sleeping on the floor. Along with the work of the volunteer builders, donations from Fredonia First United Methodist Church helped purchase the wood for the bunks, as well as the mattresses, pillows and all of the bedding to be given with the beds.

Fredonia First United Methodist Church s a church family that is open to all. They are missional, family friendly and comfortable, offering a traditional worship service with a contemporary message.
