Very simply, BUILDING BEDS 4 KIDS is a 501(c)(3) qualified charitable organization which: 

• Utilizes an all-volunteer staff and workforce, 

• Builds very basic twin-sized, wooden bed frames from 2 x 4’s, plywood, OSB, and hardware at its facility in Oak Park, Michigan, and

• Distributes beds at absolutely no cost to families in need, including mattresses and bedding, in collaboration with churches, agencies, and other organizations.

100% of the overhead and administrative costs are borne by the founders’ family, and 100% of tax-deductible contributions are used to purchase component materials, and in some cases to purchase mattresses and bedding if these are not available from other sources.

We would like to help every child who needs a bed, but we focus our limited resources on the neediest including:

• Families navigating the foster care system
• Families exiting homelessness
• Families starting over
