  Sleep Out Saturday 2020: Virtually Together:
  One Night, One Community

  The challenges of 2020 cannot stop us from helping homeless families, who need us now more than ever! This fall, nearly 1,000 DuPage County community residents will spend a very frosty night inside tents, boxes and cars to raise awareness about family homelessness and funds for Bridge Communities. Sleep Out on Saturday, November 7, or choose your own date between October 9-December 5. NEW for 2020 includes special fundraising badges, a toolkit designed to help you have a safe & socially distanced sleep out, and a video we'll debut at 8 PM on November 7!
