The 21st Annual Sleepout was held on Friday, November 24, 2023 from 3pm through Saturday, November 25, 2023 until 3pm in the parking lot of the Guthrie Desmond Street Practice.  Our goal was to raise $15,000 to help about 30 households remain in their homes with heat!  We raised $11,815 of our $15,000 goal.  Thank you to all who participated! The Sleepout is an annual event held over a 24-hour period starting at 3pm on the Friday after Thanksgiving and ending on Saturday at 3pm. This is the organization’s major fund-raiser aimed at raising funds and awareness for those in need in our community. Church and community business representatives take 1-hour blocks of time during the 24-hours and stay in the cold in a make shift home in the parking lot of the Guthrie Desmond Street Practice.  Hope you will consider participating next year!
