OneCommunity welcomes: My Very Own Bed
We’re so excited to welcome My Very Own Bed as a OneCommunity Partner!
Michael Allen, the Founder of My Very Own Bed, saw a great need to help improve poor sleeping conditions of children that were moving out of shelters and into homes. Founded in 2014, My Very Own Bed had one goal: to provide a new bed, set of sheets, blanket, pillow, mattress pad, stuffed animal, and book to children who might otherwise go without. Their efforts made an immediate impact.
With support from their network of volunteers, donors, and referral partners, they can get new beds and Dream Kits to children who need them. As their funding and network grow, their ability to impact even more kids’ lives grows with it. By 2023, they’ve provided more than 6,000 beds and Dream Kits to children ages 2-17 in the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs.
