Bunk & a Prayer
Bunk and a Prayer began when the Friends' Sunday School Class, operating under the umbrella of Sierra Vista United Methodist Church, decided to be more than hearers of the Word, but to put their beliefs into action.
We committed to heed the call of Matthew 25:40: "truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."
Bunk and a Prayer is determined to go beyond just sending a check. They identified a need and picked up their hammers and made it happen. They are making an investment of one of their most precious resources, their time.

Chilren's Bed Project
The Children’s Bed Project began in 2014 with the mission of providing a bed and bedding for all elementary students in San Angelo Independent School District who are in need of a bed. SAISD personnel help to identify the students and provide vouchers to parents to redeem for beds and bedding. Rust Street Ministries provides warehouse space and distribution of beds and bedding.
During our first school year, 238 beds were given to children in need and over 1,400 beds have been given since the project began. The project also provides beds to Child Protective Services as needed. Sierra Vista church staff and volunteers provide all administrative duties. One hundred percent of every dollar given goes directly to provide a bed or bedding.
