Project: My Own Bed

Project: My Own Bed

is the community service project of the OSY program. OSY develop their construction motor and customer service skills while serving the community. We find families who are in need of children's beds and provide them with bunk beds and bedding. In our inaugural year, we were able to serve 18 families and 44 children!

Due to COVID-19, we are not currently delivering beds but we are accepting referrals for when are able to safely do so.

If you're interested in volunteering in the future, please contact La Vonnia at lavonnia@northstatebia.org.

With the shelter in place mandate, we were unable to make many deliveries. One family who was in dire need reached out to a team member and they were able to make a quick delivery to them. They recently immigrated to the states and were unable to purchase furniture.

The second delivery for this day was to a family with two boys. They were in a dangerous home setting when they were able to make it out on their own with their mother. Our BIF employees were on hand to help assemble and arrange the twin beds.

​
When we do PMOB deliveries, we love getting them done in pairs! Helping two families in one day is not only gratifying but provides extra practice for our OSY and our volunteers. This family was referred to us from Impact Sacramento. It was a grandmother who became caretaker for her 5 grandchildren. We are so happy Impact Sacramento reached out to us to help.​

January 24, 2020
Our second run of PMOB on this day was to deliver two twin bunk beds to a growing family. The girls were so excited to get their own beds and we were able to serve their cousin on the same day! The mother is expecting and we're hoping to deliver a crib to her as well. 

January 24, 2020
After the holiday season, we had several PMOB runs scheduled and our first was to a install a crib for the sweetest little one. Our OSY was able to assemble the crib and the little girl was so happy. It is with thanks to our donors that we're able to serve the community in this way. 

December 6, 2019
We did not one, but two PMOB deliveries on the same day. We installed twin bunk beds and bedding for the children. The children weren't home during installation but we know coming home to somewhere to sleep on meant the world to them!

December 6, 2019
On our sixth run of Project: My Own Bed we had an extra volunteer from the BIA who donated his time and guidance to our OSY. The children were so excited their new beds.

Three children were overjoyed to find a surprise in their bedroom -
their very own beds. This was our fifth delivery and the experience
and it keeps getting better!


November 2, 2019
The start of the holiday season is here and our OSY had its fourth Project: My Own Bed install the very same weekend. This family was referred to us from a local ministry and they had barely any furniture in their home. One of the children was diagnosed with cancer and after his treatments, he would have to sleep on the couch. Thanks to local donors,  we were able to provide several beds and even a gaming console. 

November 1, 2019
On our third run of Project: My Own Bed, we had three OSY volunteers assemble a bunk bed for a family in south Sacramento. The volunteers had to work together to make sure everything was assembled correctly and use their communication skills to determine what was right. They put the bed together in record time and the family couldn't have been happier. 

August 30, 2019:
Project My Own Bed delivered a bed to an eight year old boy. His mother is pictured helping put the bed together. The project was done after 8pm because his mother gets off late and works 12 hours per day.  

May 3, 2019:
We had a practice run during which OSY participated in the transportation, delivery and assembly of 9 beds in one home. The children ranged from 3 to 14 years of age.  These children, along with their mothers, had previously utilized a vehicle for over three years to meet their need for shelter and sleeping.  Upon arrival at the two bedroom apartment, our team found absolutely no furniture in the bedrooms.
The wonderful smiles on the faces of the children and their mothers, once the bunk beds were assembled, the mattresses in place, and the colorful bedding with new pillows fitted to the beds, were priceless!  We delivered HOPE to these families which far exceeded their wildest expectations!
This practice run was financed in part by SRBX, who awarded us the Construction in the Community Grant at its annual Industry Lunch. Thank you, SRBX!

April 3, 2019:
​The Project: My Own Bed Team shared the project with attendees of the 2019 SVP Fast Pitch.
