Mattress, boxspring, & mattress protector
We provide healthy sleeping essentials to every family.
A complete bedding set
Children choose their favorite covers to foster pride and independence.
Better education and grades
Students read more and perform better in school when they are well rested.

UPCOMING EVENTS
MOTHER’S DAY IS SUNDAY, MAY 10th
Give Her the Gift of Giving
Remember your mother tucking you into bed at night – she pulled up your blankets, wished you sweet dreams, and planted the last kiss of the day before turning out the lights. This Mother’s Day, you can honor those tender moments by helping families in need in our community have safe, clean, and appropropriate beds to lay their little ones’ heads each night.
Donate a bed for Mother’s Day in honor of the Special Mothers in your life and we’ll send a personalized email to each of them to let them know how much they mean to you! Simply fill out our online form and we’ll send your message to her and a new bed and bedding to a family in need.* Your generosity will give sweet dreams to local children for years to come, just like your mother gave to you.
P.S. We are excited to tell you that Boca West Children’s Foundation is generously offering to match donations up to $10,000 to help us meet the rising need for beds in our community!! Your gift could be doubled to provide safe, comfortable beds for children and their families who need them most.
