You read that correctly. Saturday, September 7th you’ll have the opportunity to eat bacon for a good cause. A Bed 4 Me Foundation is hosting a bacon themed fundraiser at the Destin Commons.

Many of us have never experienced what it’s like to not have a bed to sleep on at night. Unfortunately, there are children in our community that have. That’s where A Bed 4 Me Foundation comes in to help.

Who is A Bed 4 Me Foundation?

A Bed 4 Me Foundation serves children ages 2-18 from low to middle income families within the Okaloosa County area. After a referral and introductory visit are completed, the organization provide new bedding (twin mattress, bed frame, pillow, sheet and comforter set) to children who do not have beds due to economic struggles and lack of financial resources as well as displaced families starting over due to domestic issues.

Makin’ Bacon 4 Beds

⌚When: September 7, 2019 from 12pm to 4pm
