Will you give up your bed for one night in solidarity with those who spend every night without a home? Join the “One Night Without a Home” Sleep Out on November 16th. Raise critical funds to make sure that those experiencing homelessness and poverty are receiving basic needs care, social services, and health programs. During the 2023 Point-in-Time Count of homelessness, which took place on January 24th, more than 350 individuals were found to be without a home in Montgomery County. The Norristown Hospitality Center has been working for over 30 years to provide Care, Comfort and Compassion to our neighbors who are living on the street. The Center’s unique approach combines basic needs services while also providing social services to support our neighbors who are most in need. The Center’s staff and volunteers are working every day to directly meet the needs of this vulnerable population. Who? Anyone over the age of 18 is invited to join us in person for the “One Night Without a Home” Sleep Out. Those who are under 18, may register and participate virtually at their home, school, or faith community. What? The “One Night Without a Home” Sleep Out is an opportunity to show support for our neighbors who live on the street. There will be a rally, speakers, a prayer vigil, and a solidarity sleep-out. We will join together to create awareness and, through our peer-to-peer fundraising campaign, raise money that will directly impact Norristown area homeless population. When? The event will begin at 7:00 PM on Thursday, November 16th. The event will conclude at 7:00 AM. Where? The event will take place on the steps of the Montgomery County Courthouse (2 East Airy Street).
