Spend a night under the stars in your backyard (or ANYWHERE) to raise awareness and much-needed funds to support our homeless neighbors, who need our help now more than ever. Sleep Out/Speak Out is not about pretending to be homeless; it’s an act of solidarity—to give you a tiny insight into this reality—and a fundraiser, with all proceeds directly supporting our region’s most vulnerable residents.
$20 registration + $80 suggested fundraising minimum
