(SHREVEPORT, Louisiana) – CHRISTUS Health is hosting a community event in partnership with nonprofit organization Sleep in Heavenly Peace for CHRISTUS Serve Day on April 6 from 8-11am at the CHRISTUS Highland Medical Center, Cancer Center parking lot, 1453 E. Bert Kouns Industrial Loop in Shreveport.

Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building, assembling and delivering bunk beds to children and families in need. During the event, volunteers will build 20 beds for children in the community. The group was founded on the belief that no child should ever have to sleep on the floor.

“Childhood well-being is one of our core focuses and it requires everyone to take an active role to support children in our community,” said Paige Cox, manager of Cara Center, Child Life and Volunteer Services with CHRISTUS Shreveport-Bossier Health System. “We are here to care for and serve our community and are excited to partner with Sleep in Heavenly Peace as we seek to extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ.”
