On Friday, November 7th participants will brave the elements by sleeping outside for one night. We will meet at Family Life Shelter (12580 N. Sparrow Lane - Mt. Vernon, IL) and stay overnight at this location. Participants can bring their own tent, sleep in a cardboard box (provided) or sleep in their vehicle. It’s open to everyone of all ages - families, individuals, faith and school groups, sports teams, school clubs, etc (children under 18 need an accompanying adult).
THE CAUSE: 100% of the proceeds will go towards our shelter to help provide a warm and safe place for the homeless to rebuild their lives.
