Sleep Out 2020

Welcome to your opportunity to make a difference this season.  An opportunity to keep someone in their home, an opportunity to provide for someone that is struggling this season. YOU can make a difference.  Someone made a difference for us 7 years ago. Someone's selfless gift gave us food, clothes, support, and hope to get on our feet quickly. 

Madi & I are so grateful to be here today to give back and spread the word about silent homelessness during our 4th Annual Sleep Out/Bedless Night event! 

In past years, we have packed hundreds of homeless bags with supplies to hand out. This year, we are switching it up and asking for financial gifts to prevent homelessness.

Will you help us reach our goal of raising $2,500 for the Sleep Out to help support a struggling family at risk of homelessness? 

Our challenge to each of our friends & family this year: Pay your energy or utility bill, then donate the same amount to this fundraiser to go towards someone else's that can't afford it at this moment.   Please know EVERY dollar makes a difference.  $5, $20, etc.  We so appreciate you linking arms with us to give back during this difficult year for many. 

 -Melissa & Madi

Suburban poverty can be hard to see, so it might surprise you to know that 1 in 7 of the nearly 2,000 families Interfaith Outreach & Community Partners worked with last year experienced homelessness. The average cost for Interfaith Outreach to keep a family in their home for a month is $910.

Gifts to the Sleep Out help deliver individualized services (in the areas of family support, food, housing and neighborhoods, education and youth, employment, and transportation) that help local families, seniors, and kids each year stabilize, strengthen and thrive.
