We are almost halfway to our goal for MWFA's FSTNR WeekSleep in Heavenly Peace bed build. This annual event kicks off FSTNR Week on Sunday, August 30th. The morning of building gives attendees the opportunity to give back to children within the local community. Through company sponsorships and donations, we can all come together to provide 120 fully furnished beds for these children around the Chicago area. The building process is something you will never forget. It requires no build experience and is an amazing way to give back before the industry week begins.  The build takes place at SWD Inc. - 910 S Stiles Dr, Addison, IL 60101 Sunday, August 30th9:00 AM - 2:00 PM BUILD: https://x.gldn.io/e/fT5cbwk3e3b DONATE: https://give.shpbeds.org/page/FUNRSEHKGDX
