Talladega Chamber and United Way partner with nonprofit and army of volunteers to exceed goal of building 75 beds for area children

By: Chris Norwood

Not even a soaking rain could stop the volunteers from coming out this past weekend to help build beds with the Greater Talladega/Lincoln/Munford Area Chamber of Commerce to benefit children throughout the area.

According to Val Goodman, vice president of the Gadsden Chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, about 150 volunteers originally signed up to build beds for children from scratch in the chamber parking lot in Talladega, and more than 120 showed up to do the work in the steady rain that fell early Saturday morning.

The goal was to build 75 beds. They ended the day with 77.
