(Cassopolis, MI) - Midwest Energy and Communications (MEC) partnered with the Lenawee County chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) to build beds for local children in need.
MEC sponsored the build and provided 40 volunteers to join community members and members of the SHP team. Combined, volunteers donated more than 150 hours to complete the following:
- Cutting lumber
- Sanding
- Assembling and branding head- and footboards
- Treating components to prevent bugs
- Loading components onto trailers for delivery
In total, the group built components for 40 beds, which will be assembled onsite at the homes of children in need.
Each year, MEC holds a Day of Action event as part of the cooperative’s vision of creating vibrant, relevant, and sustainable rural communities. MEC partners with local organizations, and employees volunteer to spend the workday completing projects that will benefit the community.
