Get ready for an exhilarating morning filled with music, movement, and community spirit, all while making a meaningful difference in the lives of children. This 4th annual family-friendly walk and wellness event celebrates the connection between physical activity and healthy sleep while building community around our work to provide 1800 kids with new beds and Dream Kits this year. Steps for Sleep honors My Very Own Bed's vision: All children should have a bed so they can sleep well, dream, and find comfort in a place of their own. This event brings our community together – families who've received beds, volunteers, donors, health and wellness-related organizations, and anyone interested in learning more about how to improve their sleep, health, and well-being.

This 1.5-mile walk is a 3-hour event bringing together families, students, and individuals in the hope that we bring more awareness to the issue of homelessness in Anoka County. The event organizer, Chain of Lakes Church, works with our community partners, Stepping Stone and Hope 4 Youth, and the funds received from this event will help us support those organizations by providing & serving meals at their sites, restocking their supply & grocery shelves.
