greeNest's Up Off the Floor Program provides new beds for children in Forsyth County, from birth to 18 years old.

 

Partner agency case managers identify children sleeping on the floor or who do not have a safe sleeping space. greeNest supplies portable cribs and twin beds with new pillows and bedding at no cost to the family. 

​

To achieve this, greeNest purchases compressed, new-in-box mattresses and compact metal platform frames so families can easily transport the beds without a specialty vehicle. We offer different bed-in-a-bag options for children and their parents to select their favorite bedding. 

 

​To keep this program running, greeNest relies heavily on individual financial donations. We also accept donations of twin bedding and new bed pillows.

​

Beyond physical comfort, the impact is clear: parents report better sleep for themselves and their children, teachers note increased alertness and engagement in the classroom, and children express feelings of safety and security in their own beds—sometimes for the very first time.
