BILLINGS - Instead of sleeping in on a cold Saturday morning, two teens helped give others in need a better sleep.

At around 9:00 a.m., Sarah Kiekover and Arielle Milburn, both 8th graders from Lockwood Middle School, passed out pillows to people at the Montana Rescue Mission's Women and Family shelter. The students spent a month raising more than $1,000 as a part of the "Two Roads, One Heart" community service program.

In all, close to 300 pillows are donated to the shelter. The students said Saturday it feels great to be able to help others.

"You feel better inside. It's better to give than to receive. You're giving those pillows to people, and see the smile on their faces, just makes you feel all warm inside," said Sarah.

Sarah and Arielle have yet to decide on what they will do next to raise money for people in need.
