On Sleep Out Saturday (November 1st), 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!

As I sleep out for the 22nd year in a row for Bridge Communities' 22nd Annual Sleep Out Saturday, and in honor of my 29th year of service being on staff at this wonderful organization, I humbly ask for your support as I sleep outside again for one night in the cold in my car. I take part in this community wide event so others can learn about the reasons for family homelessness in DuPage County, and raise critical funds so Bridge Communities can continue opening new doors for families in our own community. The families in the Bridge Transitional Housing program are stabilized in their own safe apartment, work hard to become financially stable, and experience real hope for their future. Additionally, I will sleep out in memory and to honor my dear friend, Alicia Rasnic, who recently passed away. Alicia was an angel to all who were fortunate to be in her life. She was an angel to Bridge families through her many years of support to our organization. Alicia helped plan our special events, hosted gatherings, and shared her friendship and treasures. Her heart was as big as the world. Thank you all for whatever amount you can share this year! xo Margo
