HELPING CHILDREN IN NEED SLEEP BETTER
Sleep in Heavenly Peace believes 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.
All children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads.
That’s where Sleep in Heavenly Peace comes in. We’re a group of volunteers dedicated to building, assembling and delivering top-notch bunk beds to children and families in need. NO KID SLEEPS ON THE FLOOR IN OUR TOWN!®.

The Westchester County Department of Health is alerting parents and guardians that there has been a rare, but serious, childhood inflammatory disease reported among children and teens with a possible link to COVID-19. The New York State Department of Health is investigating several cases of severe illness in children and child deaths that may be related to COVID-19 where children are experiencing symptoms similar to Kawasaki disease and toxic shock-like syndrome.
Westchester County COVID Information
COVID Vaccine Information 9-13-23
An updated monovalent COVID vaccine targeting the Omicron XBB.1.5 variant has been approved for use and is recommended for everyone six months and older to protect against serious illness. At this time, the bivalent COVID vaccines have been discontinued and we are preparing to offer the updated monovalent COVID vaccine at our vaccination clinics.
Please be advised that we will no longer be able to offer COVID vaccine to everyone interested in receiving it at our Health Department clinics. As we shift to our safety net role, COVID vaccines will only be available to children eligible for the Vaccines for Children program and adults who are not insured or are underinsured through the Bridge Access Program at our clinics. COVID vaccine for this population will be available by appointment only by calling (914) 995-5800.
Those with health insurance will be able to receive their COVID vaccine at places where they would normally go to get their vaccines, such as at pharmacies and medical provider offices. Use the Vaccine Finder Tool to schedule a COVID vaccine near you.
