Announcing a big New Year's goal in mid-November does not leave much wiggle room. Yet Sandra Burton and Sandra Burton Massage in Great Bend and Live Like Jesus Today Ministries were able to reach that goal of purchasing and distributing 1,000 sleeping bags to needy residents in the area. With several donations in the final week of 2024, Burton was able to purchase 1,005 sleeping bags for the Rest Easy Sleeping Bag Project. More than 100 bags were ordered in the final 90 minutes of last year. Excess funds were used to purchase food for the warming center at the Dream Center in Great Bend during last week's cold spell.
Each sleeping bag was $17.50. The Rest Easy Project bank account will remain open to help fund future projects through Live Like Jesus Today Ministries.
