Imagine the impact for a child who never gets a good night of rest because he or she doesn t have a bed, Jeff Stenerson said. They still have to get up and go to school, and they re still expected to perform like any other student, he said.
Stenerson is the founding director and Hoover the current director of the Bed Brigade, a group that makes and delivers 500 beds each year to families in need throughout central Ohio.
