Get Your Ticket Now. "No Child Sleeps On The Floor In Oak Forest"

There is a movement coming, it is being led by the non profit, SHP, right here in Oak Forest. Buy your tickets to invest in our children.

It's all about the kids, right? Everything we do, really, and Dave King is proving it. He has started a chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, right here in Oak Forest. SHP builds and delivers bunk beds for children in need. The bunk beds come with a mattresses, pillows and sheets, all at no charge to the families. The motto of SHP is “No Kid Sleeps On The Floor In Our Town.”

Dave King, a resident and business owner of Oak Forest, has brought this important movement to our community and I know you want to help. This non-profit is just taking off and the first fund raiser is right around the corner and you need to be a part of it.

This is a nation wide movement brought here to Oak Forest. It is a Non Profit and has opened chapters all over the country with the same goal; to make sure that no child sleeps on the floor in their town. It is a small endeavor in the great crusade of life, but it means everything to the children it helps.
