No kid sleeps on the floor in our town!

Sleep in Heavenly Peace Logo

What’s needed are sheets, blankets, comforters and mattress covers for TWIN beds 

that can then go along with the beds that are being built. 

At the end of each month, we’ll collect all items from the box and take them to Petersen’s Carpet & Flooring, which is one of the main donation sites.

In addition to sheets, blankets, and mattress covers, you can donate online to the local chapter. Sleep In Heavenly Peace is 100% volunteer and donation-driven; any contributions will go straight to buying materials and assembling beds!

A Community Outreach Project of

Grace United Church of Christ”

 Frederick Gives Back is a community outreach project of Grace United Church of Christ in partnership with local volunteers, local restaurants, and local healthcare facilities. Inspired by the Frontline Foods movement, Frederick Gives Back takes a local, uniquely Frederick approach to a national sentiment: giving back to the healthcare workers who are sacrificing so much to help their communities.

The project is four-fold:

  1. Volunteers work to raise funds, which are then
  2. used to engage locally-owned restaurants. With the donated funds, the restaurants will
  3. prepare and deliver nutritious meals to local healthcare facilities,
  4. thereby providing a show of support to our healthcare workers.
At this time, Frederick Gives Back is starting the process to work with Frederick Health Hospital and 7th Street Sandwich Shop to bring our first partnership online. From there, we hope to be able to expand to include multiple restaurant and healthcare partners. We are currently accepting donations to be used for the project.

All donations will be made through Grace United Church of Christ, as the organization leading Frederick Gives Back. Grace Church will then be using these donations to pay our restaurant partners.
