Sleep in Heavenly Peace

A group of volunteers dedicated to building and delivering bunk beds to children in need. A bed is a basic need for physical, emotional, and mental support that a child needs.

The Arc Pikes Peak Region

Discrimination, as well as a lack of awareness, often inhibits access to basic human rights for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, limiting their opportunity to participate in society. The Arc PPR’s Building for Change campus actively empowers those with I/DD through personal development, life skills training, and advocacy, while inviting the community to improve the culture for those with I/DD.
