The Sleep Out is our annual communitywide effort to ensure a safe place to call home for all the people entrusted to our care. This year's campaign, Nov. 12-Dec.12, hopes to prevent 900 families from losing their housing. That's a $1.8 million goal, which we believe is possible because of you. Each year, you find a way. This year, more than ever, we need everybody in to make the campaign a success. Stay with us, friends, at this most critical time.
