Lights Out for Homelessness

Make a donation to the Margo Matthew 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.

A personal message from Margo Matthew

Your sweet support of my 23rd annual Sleep Out Saturday will be extra special to me this year as I celebrate my 30th year of work with Bridge Communities. An organization that is community centered with partnerships and neighbors helping neighbors. It is also very dear to my heart because of the people with whom I encounter daily. Our mission is to partner with families and their children, providing stable housing and transformational support so they are empowered to overcome homelessness and thrive for generations to come. We could not do the work we do without all of you supporting the 100 plus families we serve annually. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Sincerely,
Margo Matthew
