Hope Starts Here: One Goal, One Community

Make a donation to the Jacqui Zurawski Sleep Out Saturday Campaign

Badges:


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!

Donate now

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

A personal message from Jacqui Zurawski

This year, our family — me, my husband, and our three kids — are taking part in Sleep Out Saturday to support Bridge Communities and the incredible work they do for families facing homelessness in DuPage County.

We’re still deciding exactly how and where we’ll spend the night, but our goal is the same: to open our eyes and hearts to what so many families experience every day, and to raise awareness (& funds) to help provide safe housing, mentoring, and a path toward independence.

If you’re able to give, dollars go toward helping families rebuild their lives. And if a donation isn’t possible right now, sharing this page or keeping Bridge’s mission in mind means just as much.

Thank you for cheering us on as we bundle up and do our small part to make a difference.

Sincerely,
Jacqui Zurawski
