No Child Sleeps on the Floor

Around 3% of the children in San Antonio do not have a bed to sleep in, most sleep on the floor or share a small space with sibling. While 3% doesn't sound like a lot it equates to over 70,000 children. 
Sleep in Heavenly Peace builds bunkbeds for these children. When a bed is delivered it also includes full new bedding. 
Rotary Club of San Antonio South volunteered on Saturday, September 23 to help build beds for children in the San Antonio area.

I would like to thank those that donated blood today at our scheduled blood drive. You should be proud to know that you have contributed to the health and well-being of the patients in our community.  Thanks to the caring and commitment of blood donors like you, many lives are saved daily.  You may be interested to know that most of the blood we collected is used within 48 hours, going to leukemia and other cancer patients, surgical patients, accident victims, and many others. Again, thank you. We look forward to your continued support at our service projects.
