On October 5th, 2024, the Medford Methodist Church (2 Hartford Rd., Medford) will host the 2nd Annual SLEEP OUT from 3 PM to 6 PM. This event aims to raise awareness and funds for homeless children and families, with over 1.2 million children nationwide and more than 34,700 homeless youth under 25 in New Jersey alone.
The Christian Caring Center and Family Promise are partnering to support the Bridge of Hope Program and Family Promise’s various initiatives. These programs assist families living on the streets, in the woods, and in cars—families who don’t qualify for government help. With winter and the school year approaching, there’s an urgent need to get them into shelters.
You can support this cause by attending the event, donating, or sponsoring one of our sleepers, including Randy or Sam. Let’s come together to help children and parents in need. Every contribution makes a difference!
Thank you for your support!
