Having a safe, clean, and appropriate place to sleep is a critical part of long-term health and wellness with measurable educational benefits.
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.
Strength and resilience
Families are better prepared to face life after a good night's rest.

UPCOMING EVENTS
2020 Back to School Campaign
(July 15 – August 31, 2020)
Research has proven that sleep is critical for strong immune systems, stress reduction, and effective learning — and vitally important during COVID-19 — but students can’t get the sleep they need without having a bed of their own. That’s why Hands on Tzedakah (HOT) is matching the first $250 of every gift we receive — up to $25,000 — during our annual Back To School Campaign!
When you donate to our Back To School Campaign between now and August 31st, HOT will DOUBLE the first $250 of your gift to give an additional twin bed to students in need right here in Palm Beach County. A gift of $250 provides two beds, $500 provides three beds, $750 provides four beds, and so on!
LOOKING FORWARD TO THESE FUTURE EVENTS
