You can help change this by putting your faith into action and joining with hundreds of area people at A Night on the Street. This is an event and learning experience organized by the UNION RESCUE MISSION. It’s an opportunity for individuals, youth groups, and corporate America to speak with one voice and take action against homelessness by spending the night sleeping out and raising funds to support the work of the Union Rescue Mission - Spend the Night Sleeping in a Box.

A Night on the Street is filled with powerful learning experiences and fun. In addition to spending the night sleeping in a cardboard box, you will understand what it's like to be homeless from serving alongside those who have been there as well as learning about some of the causes of homelessness and solutions from advocates who work to help our most vulnerable.

Youth Helping the Union Rescue Mission by Raising Money
Youth participating in A Night on the Street are asked to collect $100 in donations prior to the event or call your friends from your box. All of the money will go toward the operating budget of the Union Rescue Mission, a faith-based non-profit Christian ministry reaching out to the homeless, disadvantaged, chemically addicted and domestically abused.
