Project: My Own Bed was conceived in April 2019 by a BIA Member and program volunteer and is the community service project of the OSY program. OSY develop their project management and customer service skills while serving the community. Families who are in need of children's beds are referred to us from local community organizations and we provide them with bunk beds and bedding. 

The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) awarded Project My Own Bed its Best Community Service Project Conducted in May 2021.
​We've continued to respond to the requests of local families  throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. As children are spending more time at home than before, a dedicated space to sleep, think and play is more important than ever. 

​We are currently accepting referrals from community based organizations. Please fill out this referral form.
Thank you program supporters

Another round of deliveries! We partnered with Habitat for Humanity to help serve 3 families in the community that received keys to their new homes. Due to various hardships, the families were previously living in overcrowded conditions on top of rent increases. This new home community allows them to rebuild a more comfortable life for their families. The Foundation provided beds and bedding essentials to help the families start building their new life. Through Project: My Own Bed, the Out of School Youth led the project by assembling and dressing beds for the children. Thank you to Woodside Homes, Landscape Development Inc., and BlackPine Communities for sponsoring these families. Check out the video above to see the donation.

3 in 1 delivery! On this day, our team was able to deliver to 3 families. The children ranged in ages from infant to teens making this delivery day exciting as cribs, single beds and bunk beds were delivered. The families have recently gone through their own hardships of losing jobs, moving and tough financial situations. Overall, we helped 6 children in need and were able to help them sleep more comfortably at night. 

June 3, 2022
Due to a sudden move, this family had to relocate and leave all their furniture behind. Our Out of School Youth delivered, assembled and dressed 2 bunk beds for 3 children. The children were at school at the time of the delivery, but the mother said they were talking about their new beds for the past week. Following up with the family, they loved the colors and how it transformed their room.

May 31, 2022
Through Project: My Own Bed, our Out of School Youth delivered a bed to a refugee family who recently relocated to the area. Their 3 year old son was very excited to have a new bed and he loved the green dinosaur sheets. This bed is one of the first steps in making this new place their home!
June 2, 2022
A young brother and sister recently moved in with their grandmother after jumping around between family members. They each received their own bed and loved their decorative sheets. Now they can be more comfortable at night in the new forever home!
​April 14, 2022
The rain couldn't stop this delivery! We were able to donate a bunk bed to this single mom and her two young girls through Project: My Own Bed. Our Out of School Youth were able to assist with delivery and assembly so that the bed was ready to go for the family.

April 5, 2022
Another successful delivery! We received a referral from Unite Us for a family of 4 in need of bedding for their 2 teenage daughters. The girls each received their own along with sheets, comforters and pillows. After being homeless for some time, the girls we extremely grateful to have their own beds and have a place to sleep comfortably at night now.

​We were very happy when Black Child Legacy referred a family needing beds for 3 boys who have gone without for 5 months. Their beds were broken and the family recently moved into a new home. Our OSY were able to deliver and assemble a bunk bed as well as a single bed. The boys were excited to receive their own beds and sleep comfortably now!

This delivery was just in time for the holidays and on Victor's 10th birthday! Due to outgrowing his bed, he did not have a bed of his own to rest on. Because of his autism, Victor's mother Justine has to provide around the clock care while her husband was out of work because of a medical issue. With donations and the help of our OSY volunteers, we were able to gift Victor all the bed essentials he needs as well as a learning tablet and weighted comforter and vest. Learn more about this family in The Sacramento Bee's "Book of Dreams". ​ https://www.sacbee.com/article256751037.html

Our Out of School Youth (OSY) volunteers help deliver and assemble beds for children that don't have anywhere to sleep. Here is one of our OSY Individuals speaking about his involvement in Project My Own Bed and the impact this program has had on him.

We are so happy the Immigration Integration and Empowerment organization reached out to us for for final delivery in April. The family had arrived to the United States in 2019 and have been unable to obtain most furniture pieces, including beds. We were able to provide 2 bunk beds for 4 children who now have a place to sleep! It is with much appreciation to Winsol Groundworks for helping out with this delivery! 

April 16, 2021
April seems to be a busy month with all these requests for beds coming in. We are so happy Sacramento Children's Home reached out to us and thanks to our sponsor, we were able to make this happen! This third delivery in April was for 2 children. They had been sharing the bed with the mother and now they are able to have their own place to sleep. We could not have done this delivery without our generous sponsors at RDO Equipment Co! 

April 13, 2021 
The delivery for this day was to a family with 3 daughters. The mother was in the process of applying for disability and was unable to purchase new beds at the moment. We were able to provide beds for the 2 oldest daughters. With current restrictions, our OSY volunteers are unable to help assemble the beds; however, these families are still super grateful that we can still make these deliveries.

Our second delivery for this day was for a family with a son undergoing treatment for cancer. This family was referred to us by a local nonprofit organization aimed at providing assistance to children battling cancer. We were able to provide a total of 4 beds for this family. We would not be able to do this without our amazing sponsor, Lennar.

We were able to complete two deliveries this day. This family was referred to us by San Juan Unified School District. The family relocated to Sacramento due to a dangerous home environment. The toddler was sleeping with the mother and she was ecstatic to learn she'd be getting a toddler bed. It is with much appreciation to our sponsor, BlackPine Communities, that we were able to serve the community and this family. 

May 7, 2020
With the shelter in place mandate, we had halted deliveries. However, one family in need reached out to a team member who able to make a quick delivery. The family had recently immigrated to the States and had received donated furniture, though no bed for their son.

The second delivery for this day was to a family with two boys. They were in a dangerous home setting and had recently been able to relocate with their mother. Our OSY 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 will 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 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 about their new beds. 

November 15, 2019
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 delivery was make after 8 pm to accommodate his mother's 12 hours/day work schedule. 

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.
