Our Mission

A Bed for Every Child's mission is to provide children in need in Massachusetts with safe and comfortable beds. We believe that every child deserves a place to rest and dream big. Our organization works to address the critical issue of children not having access to proper sleeping arrangements and aims to improve children's well-being, growth, and ability to thrive, particularly in the classroom, by ensuring they have a bed to sleep in.
