Calling All Volunteers for Virtual Agency

September 6, 2011

Posted by Michael Wells

Attention all AFF-KC members! Do you love working with not-for-profits? Want a chance to do killer work for a real client? The Virtual Agency is in need of volunteers to work with this year’s client, Sleepyhead Beds.

About Sleepyhead Beds
Sleepyhead Beds is a non-profit, charitable organization serving the greater Kansas City area.  Their mission is to provide a cozy bed and warm bedding to children in need.

Sleepyhead Beds was dreamed up while their founders were working with Jackson County CASA and Operation Breakthrough. Sleepyhead Beds discovered thousands of Kansas City kids were without beds of their own - either sleeping on the floor or sharing one bed with three or more siblings. 

The idea is simple. Take gently-used, unwanted mattresses and bedding, sanitize and sterilize them, and distribute them to children in need. There is no application process - as long as Sleepyhead Beds has beds, they go to any children that need them.

If you are interested and are a reliable, fun and energetic individual, please contact Sarah Dyerson by Monday, September 12, 2011 at sarah@aafkc.com or by phone 816-822-0300.

The official kick-off meeting starts Tuesday, September 13, 2011, 5:30PM at the Ad Club, located at 1025 Jefferson Street, Kansas City, MO 64105. What kind of talented Kansas City ad pros are are we looking for?
