A non-profit group that builds beds for children who do not have one received funding to continue their efforts.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace received $10,000 in funding to help cover the cost of materials to build beds.
The organization that is operated with volunteers received $8,650 from the Sanilac Women Who Care, and they received $1,250 from the Goodtimers group of Deckerville to make beds for Sanilac County Children.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace started in Tuscola County and has expanded into Huron and Sanilac counties.
Volunteers build beds for children ages three to 17 years old.
The philosophy of the group is "No kid sleeps on the floor in our town."
It is estimated the organization has built and distributed more than 450 beds to children in the Thumb since it was formed about three years ago.
