JWCC Rotaract Club Hosts Bedding Drive to Support Children in Need

John Wood Community College’s (JWCC) Rotaract Club, located at the Southeast Education Center (SEC) in Pittsfield, is conducting a bedding drive to provide essential bedding for children in need. The drive will support local efforts to ensure that every child has a safe and comfortable place to sleep.

In partnership with the Sleep in Heavenly Peace organization, which constructs beds for children in the area, the JWCC Rotaract Club is asking for donations of new, twin-size bedding items. Items needed include pillows, sheet sets, comforters, and mattress protectors. These donations will help the club meet its goal of providing bedding for 25 local children.

The Rotaract Club will also be participating in a bed-building day this winter, organized by the Liberty chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace. During this event, members will help construct beds that will be delivered to children in the local community.

How to Help
Donations of new, packaged twin-size pillows, sheet sets, comforters, and mattress protectors can be dropped off at the JWCC Southeast Education Center in Pittsfield. For those who prefer to make a monetary donation, contributions can be made at the JWCC Foundation office or at www.jwccfoundation.org.
