Who:

You, your family, coworkers, church group, or friends — all are invited to join Golden Community, the nonprofit division of Golden Technology, for our most meaningful event of the year: Serve Cincinnati.

What:

A hands-on volunteer event where we’ll build beds for local kids in need, in partnership with the Cincinnati Chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), a national nonprofit ensuring “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town.”

You’ll work alongside other passionate volunteers to turn stacks of raw lumber into fully assembled, ready-to-deliver bunk beds. No tools or experience necessary. Just bring your energy and a heart to serve.

When:

Morning Session: 8:30 AM – 11:30 AM

Afternoon Session: 12:30 PM – 3:30 PM

Between sessions, from 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM, all volunteers are invited to enjoy a catered lunch cookout, games, and entertainment as a thank-you for serving.

Where:

Tri-County Baptist Church

8195 Beckett Rd.

West Chester, OH 45069

Why:

Too many children in our city are sleeping on floors or sharing beds. Golden Community is committed to serving the overlooked and underserved, and this build day helps provide comfort, dignity, and rest to children who need it most.

The Cincinnati Chapter of SHP runs one of the most effective and well-organized build programs in the country, making it easy for volunteers to jump in and make a difference, all while learning new skills, connecting with others, and having a great time.

What to expect:

  • Assembly-line stations: sawing, sanding, drilling, staining, branding

  • All tools, materials, and safety gear provided

  • Guided instruction, perfect for first-timers

  • Family-friendly atmosphere with upbeat music and refreshments

  • Catered lunch cookout, games, and entertainment provided for all volunteers as part of their shift

Children 10 and up are welcome to volunteer. All minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

What they’re saying:

  • “It was one of the highlights of our nearly 500-person volunteer day. The return was immediate, and we highly recommend the experience to other community teams.”

    Charley Frank, Executive Director, Cincinnati Reds Community Fund

  • “The entire experience was seamless. SHP took care of all the planning and made it effortless for us to help others.”

    Brad Sommer, President, 3D Color

  • “The event was fun, fulfilling, and extremely well organized. Just a word of warning: you’ll probably be hooked and want to do it again and again.”

    Laura Banks, Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Colibrium Additive (a GE Aerospace company)

Let’s build more than just beds. Let’s build a stronger community together.

Help Kids Sleep in Comfort – Join Our Bedding Drive

In addition to building beds, we want every child to have brand-new bedding of their own. We are hosting a bedding drive leading up to Serve Cincinnati, and you can help!

You don’t have to attend the build to make a difference — anyone can participate.

Donate Bedding via Our Amazon Wish List:

Your donation will go directly to local children receiving beds through Sleep in Heavenly Peace. Together, we can make sure no kid sleeps on the floor in our town.
