Bethlehem Builds Ties to My Very Own Bed

About four years ago, Bethlehem Lutheran Church Twin Cities began a relationship via a foundation grant to My Very Own Bed, which provides new beds to children transitioning to permanent housing.

This year, the Bethlehem Foundation awarded My Very Own Bed a second grant of $10,000 to support its Youth Advisory Board with funds for stipends, food, and transportation. The Youth Advisory Board plays a critical role in MVOB’s youth engagement strategies by creating a formal structure for voices of youth in the organization, youth leadership, and community building.

MVOB shared their excitement on Facebook:

“The support from Bethlehem Lutheran Church Twin Cities just keeps coming! We are grateful for Bethlehem Lutheran Church’s four-year partnership in lifting up youth in many ways.”

Thank you to Bethlehem member Collette MacIver for introducing us to My Very Own Bed and helping start this vital partnership. More than 8,000 children have now received new beds through this fantastic organization.
