American 1 Credit Union is proud to sponsor an upcoming Build Day with Sleep in Heavenly Peace - Jackson Chapter on October 3, 2026, helping provide beds for local children who do not have a bed of their own.
During this volunteer event, participants will work alongside Sleep in Heavenly Peace staff and community members to build bed frames, sand wood, organize materials, and assist with other hands-on projects. No woodworking experience is required, and volunteers of all skill levels are welcome.
The Build Day reflects American 1's commitment to community outreach and its mission of enriching the communities it serves through meaningful partnerships and hands-on service.
"Every child deserves a safe and comfortable place to sleep," said Haley Hemmig, Community Partnership Manager. "We're proud to partner with Sleep in Heavenly Peace and support their incredible work in our community. Opportunities like this bring people together to make a meaningful difference for local children and families."
Volunteer shifts are available from 8:00 to 10:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Arnold Elementary School, located at 4064 Page Ave in Michigan Center, Michigan.
American 1 employees, along with their friends and family members, will be volunteering at the event, and community members who are interested in getting involved are encouraged to participate as well. Everyone is welcome to be part of the effort.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring that no child sleeps on the floor in their own home. Through the efforts of volunteers and community partners, the organization builds and delivers beds to children in need, helping create better sleeping environments and brighter futures.
