Beds & Bedding Ministry

 

Bed/Furniture Ministry

There are many individuals and families who are sleeping on the floor.  A good night sleep is important for physical and emotional wellness. We provide new beds, bedding and cribs to individuals and families in Loudoun County who are moving out of shelters, and to families living in poverty.

Please note that the individuals must be referred by a social worker, school, organization or church ministry and show that they can be sustainable moving forward.

Social workers, schools, churches and organizations are welcome to make a referral to us at dmoutreach@sainttheresaparish.com or by contacting Marianne Guidos at 703-729-2334.

Many folks face the challenges of losing their homes and furniture…and end up on the street or in a shelter. As they start over the costs of purchasing beds can be difficult and many chose to just sleep on the floor.

Here’s a way you can help:

Monetary donations help purchase beds and cribs or bedding. Just a couple of examples about $290. purchases a bed for child and $250 a crib/mattress/ bedding for an infant. $35 purchases bedding for a twin. Any amount even $1 makes a difference. Checks also accepted. Make payable to St. Theresa Church and put Divine Mercy Outreach beds in the memo. Place the check in our lock boxes at church or drop off or mail to the parish office or go to “Donate” on our website to make your donation to Divine Mercy Outreach. Some employers match donations as well.

Donations of

  • new bedding and new or gently used blankets (twin, full/double, queen, especially twin size) are needed!
  • New bed pillows needed on an ongoing basis. Please no used pillows.

Pillows, blankets and bedding can be dropped off in our outreach boxes at church. Please indicate the size of the blankets on the bag.

Many thanks!

God bless you!
