ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The Summit Federal Credit Union (The Summit) on March 20 announced a two-year, $30,000 commitment to Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) chapters in Syracuse, Buffalo, and Rochester.
The Summit will disperse $10,000 to each of the three SHP chapters over the next two years ($5,000 in 2025, $5,000 in 2026) to help in supporting their mission of “ensuring that no kid sleeps on the floor” in the towns and cities the credit union serves.
The financial donation across all three organizations will total $30,000.
SHP delivers a complete bed to a child: frame, mattress, and all bedding tailored as much as possible to the tastes of the child. In addition to its financial support and bed builds in all three regions that The Summit serves, the credit union will host annual pillow and bedding drives in all its branches to which members will be able to contribute.
“The Summit is committed to making a difference in the communities that we serve,” Laurie Baker, The Summit’s president and CEO, said in the announcement. “A comfortable and safe place to rest is a basic need which many children in our regions simply don’t have. Lack of a restful night’s sleep affects overall health, happiness, and the ability to learn and thrive. By partnering with Sleep in Heavenly Peace, we will be able to make an immediate impact on the lives of children and their families.”
