Faith’s Law was passed by the 102nd General Assembly as two separate pieces of legislation. The first piece of legislation, Public Act 102-0676, took effect on Dec. 3, 2021.

#d168excels - Free Beds for Children - Sleep in Heavenly Peace
We fully believe that a bed is a basic need for the proper physical, emotional, and mental support that a child needs. When it was brought to our attention that the need for beds went far beyond our own neighborhoods, we stepped up and took initiative. Click the link https://shpbeds.org to learn how to apply.
All children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads. Beds come with mattress, sheets, pillow and comforter. Either a bunk bed or a twin bed
