National Collaboration Combines Bed-Building Volunteers with Technology Platform to Ensure No Child Sleeps on the Floor
By partnering with CarePortal, we can place beds exactly where they're needed most, through trusted requests and community responders who are ready to act.”
POCATELLO, ID, UNITED STATES, November 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), a national nonprofit dedicated to building, assembling, and delivering beds to children in need, today announced a strategic partnership with CarePortal, a technology platform that connects vulnerable children and families in crisis with caring communities ready to help.— Luke Mickelson, founder of SHP
Together, the organizations are addressing child bedlessness across America by combining SHP's 370+ chapters and thousands of volunteers with CarePortal's real-time platform connecting child-serving agencies to community responders.
Across the United States, thousands of children go to sleep each night without a bed of their own, sleeping on floors, couches and other unfavorable sleeping conditions—a reality that often signals families in crisis. Through this partnership, verified bed requests from caseworkers, teachers, and social workers will flow directly through CarePortal to SHP chapters, enabling volunteers to build and deliver beds where they're needed most.
"At Sleep in Heavenly Peace, we believe no child should have to sleep on the floor," said Luke Mickelson, founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace. "By partnering with CarePortal, we can place beds exactly where they're needed most, through trusted requests and community responders who are ready to act. Together, we're not just delivering beds; we're delivering comfort, safety, and a reminder to every child that they are cared for."
CarePortal operates across 38 states and has served more than 500,000 children and caregivers by connecting child welfare professionals with over 6,500 church partners and community organizations. The platform enables real-time community response to critical needs, with more than half of requests receiving a response in less than 48 hours.
"When a child sleeps on the floor, a family is in crisis. By partnering with Sleep in Heavenly Peace, we get to respond together to restore dignity and hope," said Adrien Lewis, founder of CarePortal. "This is Care-Sharing at its best—neighbors seeing and serving one another. In the process, a child hears, 'You matter. You belong,' and lives are changed on both sides of the connection."
The partnership reflects both organizations' commitment to strengthening families through community collaboration. By combining technology, tangible resources, and local relationships, SHP and CarePortal are reimagining how generosity and coordination can address child welfare challenges.
