Lights Out for Homelessness

Make a donation to the Sunshine Dance Teens Sleep Out Saturday Campaign

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!

Donate now

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