Central Electric Cooperative has awarded $2,500 to a local organization that builds beds for children. The funds through Operation Round-Up will go towards lumber and supplies to fulfill the mission of Sleep In Heavenly Peace.
Vince Boddicker is president of the local chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace….
In 2023 Sleep In Heavenly Peace distributed around 95 beds to 45 families from Mitchell, Plankinton, Alexandria, and Parkston. Boddicker says volunteers build each bed by hand and cost approximately $250 each. They also include a mattress, sheets, pillows and a comforter.
