Hope to Dream, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing beds to children in need, is proud to announce the donation of 200 beds to Beds for Kids. Beds for Kids is a Charlotte-based furniture bank that helps children and their families in need by providing essential furniture, including beds.
By providing beds and essential furniture, Hope to Dream and Beds for Kids believe that they can improve the quality of life for these families and give children a comfortable place to rest and grow.
Through the Hope to Dream organization, children in need are provided with a brand-new bed, complete with a mattress, bedding, and a pillow. The organization's mission is to create positive, long-lasting effects on children's lives by offering them a better night's sleep and the opportunity to thrive.

"At Hope to Dream, we believe that every child deserves a good night's sleep and a chance to thrive. By working together with Beds for Kids, we can make a tangible impact on the lives of children in our community."
The mission of Beds for Kids is to provide beds and essential furniture to children and their families in need. Since 2011, Beds for Kids has delivered over 22,000 beds and served over 7,200 families in the Charlotte area.
