Sleep Out is a unique experience that encourages awareness, empathy, and understanding for the immeasurable odds that youth experiencing homelessness face. But while awareness of a problem is important, it isn't a solution.
Sleep Out raises critical funds that allow Covenant House New Jersey to offer 24/7 safety, shelter, and support to young people overcoming homelessness. By fundraising, Sleepers become part of the solution for youth facing homelessness.
We ask each Sleeper to work towards a goal of $300. Each school will also have a team fundraising page, and you can use your team fundraising to work towards reaching a collective goal.
If you're nervous about fundraising, reach out! Our team is here to support you every step of the way. We offer a step-by-step guide, sample messages, and shareable content. Fundraising can be daunting — it's part of the commitment you make to step outside your comfort zone when you decide to Sleep Out — but you are never in it alone.
