2021 Brentwood Teens build beds for homeless[]
Booming pop music may be an expected component of a youth conference soundscape — rumbling power saws, maybe not so much. Both were present at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Brentwood on Wednesday as more than 75 teens gathered to build bunk beds in partnership with Sleep in Heavenly Peace for local children in need.
Some of the teens were hard at work measuring, cutting and sanding wood for the bed frames outside in the parking lot while others made fleece blankets to go with the beds inside the church. Each frame would also be delivered with a mattress as well.
Dwan Smith, the president of the Nashville chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, shared that the beds will go to children in Nashville who don’t have a bed and are sleeping on the floor. Families in this situation can apply for a bed with the chapter, and volunteers are then able to help fill that need.[1]

Tennessee's second temple, it lies 15 miles south of the state capital in the picturesque suburb of Franklin, in the vicinity of two 100-acre horse farms and a historic private high school named Battle Ground Academy.
