We have something called the Hero Program at my work. Every year we find a project to do in the community. Employees, family and friends sign up to be volunteers for a day(or more). The store supplies all the materials and the volunteers do all the work.
Last year we worked fixing up Kiwanas kiddie land. We painted, fixed the roof, did some landscaping etc,. It was a big job and took numerous days to complete.
This year we worked at the Merced Homeless shelter. We cut wood to fit under the mattresses to support the beds. We built shelving racks and picnic tables and donated umbrellas. We were even written about in three local newspapers.
It wasn't hard hard work...but I think the bed supports alone will make a huge difference.
The beds look very uncomfortable. Many of them had layers of cardboard under the mattresses. I don't know how to describe it but some of the beds were sunken in. The metal frame was coming apart in some areas... Anyways, the wood under the mattresses are going to add support and make them more comfortable(if a thin mattress on a bunk bed is comfortable)
As you can see, I'm wearing my cycling gloves...not sure why I have sunglasses on indoors..
