Over 12% of all US children live in poverty; family homelessness is on the rise.
Family Promise of Greater Washington County is hosting an experiential evening to raise awareness for unhoused children and their families, and to raise funds that will directly impact their lives.
On Saturday, October 21, you are invited to Southminster Presbyterian Church to sleep outside your bed. Dinner and a to-go breakfast will be provided for those staying overnight (bring your own sleeping bags, blankets, pillows, etc.) If you’re unable to stay overnight, you can still participate by sleeping on your sofa, the floor, or even in your car. The event begins at 6:30 pm and ends at 8:00 am on Sunday, Oct 22.
Donations of $10 per person (or a package of diapers or toilet paper) are requested. Learn more and register (by Monday, Oct 16, please) at familypromisegwc.org
