More than 6,500 volunteers came together in Charlotte recently to build over 10,000 beds for kids in need – and they did it all in just 24 hours. In order to get it all done, they worked assembly-line style, using 200 miles-worth of raw lumber, 2,000 gallons of stain, over 730,000 wood screws and nearly 18,000 sanding discs. The finished beds will be delivered to families in 36 states through the charity Sleep in Heavenly Peace. More than 140,000 children across the United States are currently waiting for a bed (Here’s a news report.)
