Lights Out for Homelessness

Badges:


On Sleep Out Saturday (November 7th), hundreds of children, teens and adults will spend the night sleeping outside in tents, boxes, and 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 support has the power to change lives! 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 today to demonstrate your commitment to helping families facing homelessness 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 Amy and Aidan

You know that my family is very committed to Bridge Communities’ mission. Bridge’s program is a life-saver for so many homeless families living in our communities.

Bridge’s signature event, Sleep Out Saturday is coming up on Saturday, November 7th. Aidan and I will be sleeping out in my car overnight to gain a bit of perspective as to what so many homeless families go through night after night.

I am asking for your financial support in honor of our efforts. Your gift, in any amount, will be pooled with hundreds of other donors to bring homes and hope to the families in Bridge’s transitional housing program.

Sincerely,
Amy and Aidan
