Bed Start
Our next opportunity to serve with Bed Start is coming soon. Bedstart supports families who are in dire need of furniture, who are often sleeping on the floor. We work with hundreds of agencies in North Texas who refer families coming out of homelessness, disaster, recovery, etc. We pick up quality donated furniture on a weekly basis and deliver it immediately to families in need right here in Collin County. Please consider joining and getting to know our neighbors who could use some help.
Bed Start provides a great way for families to serve together- while some items are heavy and need strength to move, we have many items that a child or teenager can help move as well. This is a great way to spend time serving in our communities while spending time together moving from place to place on various deliveries. We will leave the church at 8:30 and usually complete the work by 12:30 or earlier depending on support.
Stonebridge UMC partners with Bed Start occassionally to provide pickup and delivery crews.
Meet at 8:15 a.m. in the Stonebridge UMC parking lot.
Bed Start welcomes donations of gently-used beds, comforters, bedding, household items (dishes, cookware, towels, etc) and furniture, as well as monetary donations to purchase new beds/linens for families in need in Collin County. Bed Start also fills requests from City House, Family Promise, Hope’s Door, Project Transformation and many other area agencies. Their biggest need is for bunk beds, full-size beds, twin-size beds, dressers and dinette sets. Any size bed and type of furniture is welcome. Monetary donations are also needed on an ongoing basis. To learn more about Bed Start, make a donation, or scheduled a furniture donation pickup, please visit Bed Start's webpage.
