What can I do right now to help others?
The first thing you can do to help others in need is buy a new mattress from Mattress Direct. It sounds a little crazy, but when you buy a new mattress, you have the ability to donate your old mattress set to our partners at the Sharing Shed. The Sharing Shed is part of a larger non-profit and focuses on collecting furniture and household supplies, which are then distributed to families in need. This assistance is offered to clients who are going through the process of getting back on their feet. The Sharing Shed creates a store-like environment where clients can choose the specific items they would like to have in their new home. They get referrals from many non-profit organizations in the St. Louis area, which help all sorts of people suffering from things like fire or flood damage, displacement due to job loss, fleeing abusive relationships, recovering from homelessness, or dealing with other hardships. If buying a new mattress is not currently in your scope, you also have an opportunity to donate other items, including dishes, household furniture, and small appliances. If you'd like to purchase a new bedframe, pillow, or mattress protector from Mattress Direct, these items can be set to deliver directly to the Sharing Shed. Additionally, the Sharing Shed runs solely with the help and assistance from volunteers. If you have the time and ability, they are always looking for volunteers to help sort through and organize donations and to help clients through the process of choosing their items. Learn more by visiting thesharingshed.org.
What can I do if my family and I need help?
Our friends at the Sharing Shed work with several different organizations in and around the St. Louis area. These organizations work to help people in all kinds of situations and are the ones who can offer referrals to the Sharing Shed. These partner organizations work to help individuals suffering a wide array of hardships. Below you'll find basic information on different organizations associated with the Sharing Shed and their contact information.
