Running of the Beds is a community festival hosted by Flourish, Kansas City’s only furniture bank, that will raise support to provide free beds for families. In this thrilling, one-of-a-kind race, teams will compete neck-to-neck on home-made beds on wheels. Proceeds from the event will be essential to provide an entire home of furnishings for 1,500 families overcoming housing insecurity.
We need volunteers to help make this event a success. Whether you are helping set up, run games, assist our bed teams, or any of the other many jobs available - we need your help!
The event will be held in Lee's Summit, with training happening for certain volunteer positions in Grandview, MO.
