What if every child had a bed to sleep in? Join us as Lauren Evans, the inspiring Executive Director of Beds for Kids, shares the heart and soul of this amazing Charlotte-based furniture bank. With a mission centered around ensuring no child or family has to sleep on the floor, Lauren reveals how Beds for Kids collaborates with 75 local agencies, such as Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools and DSS Youth Family Services, to bring comfort to families in Mecklenburg and Cabarrus counties. Imagine making a difference in the lives of 30 to 35 families each week—Lauren explains how they achieve this feat and how you can be a part of their journey.

Lauren gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how Beds for Kids acquires furniture through generous community donations and strategic partnerships with furniture giants like Ashley Furniture. With a fleet of trucks and a dedicated team, they transform gently used items into life-changing essentials for families in need. From working with businesses, universities, and hotels to prevent wastage, to detailing the kinds of furniture they accept, Lauren paints a vivid picture of the organization's impactful work. Listen to learn how you can contribute, whether it's through donating your pre-loved furniture or simply spreading the word about this incredible initiative.
