A Night in the Cold 2024

November 8, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - January 9, 2025 @ 7:00 am

On Friday, November 8th 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.
