The slogan for this group is “No Kid Sleeps on the Floor in this Town,” and their mission is to build and provide beds to the local youth. This year, SUNY Poly has continued its partnership with SHP, and their student-athletes have volunteered their time to help build beds. This volunteering includes cutting, sanding, and staining wood, drilling holes and branding the headboards of beds with the school logo, and collecting bedding.
