Sleep on the street for one night, so homeless youth don't have to.
Thank you to Tim Hortons and C&D Logistics for their generous support towards the Sleep Out: Joseph Richard Group event. Tim Hortons donated $2,000 in gift cards and C&D Logistics donated $850 in t-shirts. The support from Tim Hortons and C&D Logistics has been instrumental to the Joseph Richard Group event surpassing our $50,000 goal. Thank you to our amazing community partners.
On November 13, 2017, we are challenging members of the Joseph Richard Group community to spend one night sleeping on the street to raise funds for our Crisis Program.
You can also help by making a donation to support a Sleep Out participant. Join the Sleep Out movement and make a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of homeless youth.
On any given night there are between 500 and 1000 young people living on the streets in Vancouver. Vancouver's downtown streets are dangerous. Sexual exploitation, drug abuse, poverty and illness are commonplace.
Many youth are re-victimized on the streets, having fled one unsafe situation only to find their circumstances are often worse. Exposed to the elements, afraid, and without hope; this is the reality for kids on the street.
