Build a Bed
The Build a Bed project aims to provide beds to those in need while offering an educational and fulfilling volunteer experience.
Just One Chesed’s Project Build a Bed is a meaningful initiative that combines hands-on carpentry with impactful giving. The goal is simple yet powerful: to provide beds for individuals and families in need—because everyone deserves a safe and comfortable place to sleep.
Each session includes not just the construction of beds, but also an educational component that sheds light on the power of chesed (kindness), and the ripple effect of doing good. Participants leave with more than sawdust on their clothes—they leave inspired, connected, and proud of what they’ve built together.
What makes Build a Bed especially unique is its ability to bring people together around a shared mission of kindness. It’s the perfect experience for Bar and Bat Mitzvah projects, allowing teens to take part in something tangible and impactful. It’s also ideal for tour groups looking for a meaningful way to connect with local communities, and for team-building workshops that want to go beyond the typical trust falls and create something with lasting value.
Whether you’re with a corporate group, school, synagogue, youth group, or just a few friends wanting to give back, this workshop offers a rare opportunity to roll up your sleeves and literally build kindness into the world.
