We were recently able to finish up another batch of beds and got them delivered to Pickaway County's Child Protective Services. It is amazing how many people were involved in the process to make this possible... from the individual donations, the church donations, and the materials donated from local companies... to the volunteer time of the people who organized the supplies, worked on securing a place for us to put them together, and for the amazing space we can now store them in. A group of kids have even dedicated themselves to building a website and to getting the word out. We are very grateful for each and every person and organization that assisted in the process.
We still need your help as we continue this effort. Please check out our web site to get more information on how you can be involved. www.everyone-safe.org If you or someone you know would like to be a part of this effort please contact us.
One of the volunteers said during the process of packaging the beds up to be delivered, "Once you know that the need exists, you have to do something." I couldn't agree more. Whether it's beds in Central Ohio or homes in Haiti, once you know of the great need, it really is hard to not do something.
