The power of Lions working together is about to make a life-changing impact for children across North Texas.
| Lions Districts 2-E2 and 2-X1 are teaming up with Sleep in Heavenly Peace for the upcoming “Build Beds for Kids Day” on Saturday, October 3, 2026, in Irving, Texas. This incredible service project will bring Lions, Leos, local businesses, and community volunteers together for one mission — making sure no child sleeps on the floor. |
| The event will take place at the Lowe’s Outlet Store located at 3500 W Airport Fwy in Irving. Registration and check-in begin at 8:00 a.m., with the bed build starting at 9:00 a.m. and expected to continue until approximately 1:00 p.m. |
| No special skills are needed to participate. Organizers stress that there is a job for everyone, and experienced leadership from Sleep in Heavenly Peace representatives will be on-site to guide volunteers throughout the project. All materials and tools will be provided. Lions are encouraged to wear their Lions vests so every club represented can be recognized during this major district-wide service event. |
| In addition to volunteers, donations are also being requested. Clubs are encouraged to become a “500 Club Member” by donating enough to sponsor two beds at $250 each. Participating clubs will receive a banner patch recognizing their support. |
| This is what Lions do best — serving together, building together, and changing lives one project at a time. District 2-E2 encourages all Lions and Leos to come out, lend a hand, and help ensure that every child has a safe and comfortable place to sleep. |
| For additional information, Lions may contact PCC John Eads, PCC John Landrum, or DGE Mike Lueckenhoff listed on the event flyer. |
