SUMMARY: Beds for Kids is a nonprofit organization that provides beds, mattresses, and bedding to children in need who do not have a bed to sleep in. Started by Stanley Hudleston in 2018, the organization has delivered over 3600 beds and continues to serve around 100 children every month. The volunteers build beds every Monday morning at Mount Olive Baptist Church and deliver them to children across Tennessee and the Delta region. The organization’s goal is to ensure that every child has a proper place to sleep, as sleeping on the floor or in a chair is heartbreaking. Parents are encouraged to reach out for assistance, especially during the summer months when the need is even greater.

Daniel Alsup with Beds for Kids talked about the national bed crisis that is affecting kids.

SUMMARY: In downtown Jackson, a special art piece commemorates veterans, particularly highlighting a returning World War I soldier. The War Memorial building serves as a tribute to soldiers rather than war itself, featuring the Mississippi Unknown Soldiers Monument alongside sculptures by George Albert Rer. These bar reliefs, modeled after Ray Scott, depict the same soldier in various life stages, from combat to homecoming. Completed just before World War II, the building primarily honors earlier battles, with World War II references limited to the elevator panels. On Veterans Day, the Daily Sip expresses gratitude to veterans for their service.
