A Night in Their Shoes
A Sleep Out for the Unhoused
One night can help create a path to safe, stable housing for families in our community.
Will you give up one night for your neighbors?
The Elizabeth Coalition to House the Homeless (ECHH) invites you to come together for our inaugural sleep out event on Saturday, December 5. Participants will spend one night sleeping outdoors to raise awareness and critical funds for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
By participating, you will do more than raise funds for neighbors in need. You will join a compassionate community willing to give up the comforts of home for one night—to listen, learn and take meaningful action in support of our shared belief that everyone deserves a safe place to call home.
When:
Saturday, December 5th, at 6:00 p.m. through Sunday, December 6, at 7:00 a.m.
Where:
St. Helen Catholic Church, 1600 Rahway Avenue, Westfield, NJ.
You may also participate from your backyard, garage, porch, car, or another safe location of your choice.
