Despite rain showers Saturday morning, May 23, volunteers gathered under the pavilions at the Union County Farmers Market from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to build beds for local children in need through the nonprofit Sleep in Heavenly Peace.
The Blairsville chapter was established in January and operates under the national organization’s slogan, “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town!” It provides beds to children ages 3 to 17 in Towns, Union and Clay counties and will serve children outside that area if necessary.
