On November 5th more than 1,000 children, teens and adults will spend the night sleeping outside in tents, boxes, or cars or doubled up inside their homes without a bed to call their own, all to raise awareness about family homelessness and funds for Bridge Communities' Transitional Housing Program.

Your help is needed now more than ever. With your help, Bridge Communities will transition over 100 families to self-sufficiency by working with community partners to provide mentoring, housing, and supportive services. Please give to demonstrate your commitment to helping homeless families build a bridge to a brighter future!

Give with confidence

Nearly 90% of your donation will benefit the families in our transitional housing program.


A personal message from Veronica Horton

This is my first year participating in Sleep Out Saturday. I will be going a step further and in honor of the 1,000s of families served over 35 years, I will be living out of my car 24/7 away from home till I raise $35,000. Please support the many families who pass through Bridge Communities.

Sincerely,
Veronica Horton
