An Unforgettable Service Experience

What Is A Night on the Street?
A Night on the Street is an unforgettable service experience for residents of Central Arkansas. You'll sleep out with only a cardboard box as shelter, learning firsthand about the challenges of being homeless. By drawing attention to the needs of the homeless, you'll put your faith into action in a concrete way and, at the same time, raise money to help prevent homelessness,domestic abuse and chemical addiction.

Raising Money for the Homeless
A Night on the Street asks you not just to learn about homelessness but to be part of the solution. Each participant will contact their friends, church family, family several weeks prior to the event with a goal to collect a minimum of $100 in tax-deductible donations. All of the money raised will go towards the work of the Union Rescue Mission. To learn more about the Union Rescue Mission and donate online visit our website at www.urmission.org.

There is an off-duty police officer and volunteers present during the entire event. In addition, adult chaperons are required to accompany any church or community youth groups. Chaperons are responsible for keeping track of the teens in their groups.

Serving the Homeless
Participants will also have the opportunity to serve the homeless coffee, pastries, and food items as well as distribute blankets, coats, and gloves.
