The "My Very Own Bed" service projects needs help this Saturday, February 24 from 9 am to Noon. This is a heartwarming and fulfilling experience where you’ll get to pack a personalized Dream Kit, assemble the bed frame, and then go to the child’s home to deliver and set up the new bed. Volunteer spots are three hours long, and you will begin by meeting at My Very Own Bed’s office in Minneapolis. Volunteer times are limited to 7 participants (max) to respect the recipient-families’ homes and personal space. Space-permitting, you may invite non-Rotarians (priority given to members first), but all volunteers must be at least 8 years old.
