In an effort to continue promoting awareness of homelessness, Somerville Homeless Coalition is thrilled to announce the 2nd annual Sleep In Sleep Out event.
This community at-home event will take place the weekend of Friday May 13 – Sunday May 15.
While you sleep in your backyard, basement, or living room, the SHC Team sleep out-side.
Join in to raise much needed funds for their clients living outside year-round.
Last year, the Team braved the elements (it rained hard) as they slept outside for the night. Although we will never fully appreciate the toll it takes on their homeless clients’ physical and mental health, the night fueled passion and desire to do more for the most vulnerable in our community.
While they sleep out on Friday, May 13, they are asking you to register for this event and sleep in your yard, a tent, basement, or a place of your choosing – simply a place without the comforts of your own bed.
Getting involved is simple:
- Sign up using the register button below
- Pay the registration fee of $30
- Choose your tee-shirt size (to wear on the night of your at-home sleep out!)*
- Go that extra mile and become a fundraiser (details will be sent to you in an email upon registration)
*To receive a t-shirt with your registration, you must register by April 29.
Last year over 100 registered for the event and you, our wonderful community raised over $24,000!
Together, we will make a difference; together we will find everyone a home.
