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!

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

A personal message from Molly Howieson

My grandson will be 3 years old in November. He loves landscapers. His Dad will say your guys are here and he will run to the window to see them working in the neighborhood. He has his all his play tools and loves to show me how he does excellent work around the yard. There are many hardworking families in our community who are paying at least 50% of their income towards rent. Just one crisis can spiral the finances and they lose their housing. My goal is the average rent on a 2 bedroom in DuPage County according to Apartment.com Please support me!

Sincerely,
Molly Howieson


Thank you to all those who pledged!
