On Friday, July 24th, from 8pm to Saturday, June 27th at 8am, dedicated adults, teens, and children will be sleeping out to raise critical funds and awareness for people experiencing homelessness in Monroe County, Indiana.
Due to COVID-19, though, this year’s sleepout will be taking place virtually. We’ll be in our backyards, porches, on our living room floor, etc. practicing social distancing while doing it.
The net proceeds from the event will support Shalom Community Center’s overnight shelter, Friend’s Place, the only nonreligious, year-round emergency shelter for homeless adults in the region. Friend’s Place is a sober shelter for Monroe County residents, providing hope and support as people find their way back home. Combined with Shalom’s housing and employment assistance, Friend’s Place has become one of the most successful shelters in Indiana.
Shalom Community Center, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, based in Bloomington, IN and dedicated to aiding and empowering people experiencing extreme poverty, especially hunger and homelessness.
