Join us for a powerful night of solidarity as we host a Sleep Out to raise awareness of youth homelessness on the Eastern Shore. For one night, participants will forgo the comfort of their beds and sleep outside to shed light on the challenges faced by unhoused young people in our community.
This event is about more than sleeping out — it’s about storytelling, advocacy, and action. The evening will feature guest speakers, community reflection, and opportunities to support local programs that serve homeless youth. Funds raised will directly support services that provide safety, resources, and hope.
Whether you participate, donate, or sponsor, your involvement helps us move closer to a community where every young person has a safe place to call home.
When: November 30, 2025, 6:00 PM - December 1, 2025 7:00 AM
Registration: Free to join. Participants are encouraged to fundraise to support youth programs.
