Lights Out for Homelessness

Make a donation to the Michelle Stasi 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!

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

A personal message from Michelle Stasi

I have been working at Bridge for 10 years and this is my 7th year sleeping out. I’m proud to be part of Bridge Communities and our mission to help families move from homelessness to self sufficiency. Through our Children’s Program, I see how small acts of support can create meaningful opportunities and lasting change. Every child deserves the chance to thrive, and I’m grateful to be part of making that possible.

Sincerely,
Michelle Stasi
