On November 2nd more than 1,000 children, teens and adults will spend the night sleeping outside in tents, boxes, or cars or doubled up inside their homes without a bed to call their own, all to raise awareness about family homelessness and funds for Bridge Communities' Transitional Housing Program.

Your help is needed now more than ever. With your help, Bridge Communities will transition over 100 families to self-sufficiency by working with community partners to provide mentoring, housing, and supportive services. Please give to demonstrate your commitment to helping homeless families build a bridge to a brighter future!

A personal message from Mark Milligan

Good friends, Thank you so much for visiting my Sleep Out Saturday page. I have lost count of which SOS this is, but I know it remains a vital part of the revenue that allows Bridge to do the difficult work of moving families from homeless to housed and thriving. Thanks for taking that journey with me. Peace! Mark.

Sincerely,
Mark Milligan
