Why Do We Sleep Out?
The Solidarity Sleep Out is a powerful way to raise awareness and critical funds to support people in our community who are experiencing homelessness and is the single most important fundraiser for Beacon's overnight shelter, Friend's Place. Participants choose to sleep outside for one night to stand in solidarity with those who don’t have that choice. It’s about acknowledging the realities of homelessness and inspiring empathy and action as we come together to build a community where everyone has a safe place to sleep and the support they need on their path home.
