On May 14th, spend the night sleeping outside in a cardboard box (that you bring with you) to raise funds to support Family Promise of Hunterdon County’s homeless families, and to increase awareness about homelessness in our own community. Everyone is welcome to participate by sleeping out, coming for the evening’s festivities until 11pm, or supporting those that do.
Participants of all ages are welcome- youth groups, sports teams, service groups, and families- are welcoem to join in “Box City” at Hunterdon Central High School Practice Field.
Don’t forget to get a box for yourself! You can shop for your luxury accommodations ate appliance retailers, outdoor furniture stores, car repair companies, etc..
Participants will raise a minimum of $30.00 each, and any participant who raises more than $50.00 will receive a special Box City prize. Great prizes will be awarded for the top individual and team fundraisers (avg. amount raised per team member). Funds raised will help prevent homelessness and provide critically important services and housing for homeless families in Hunterdon.
Weather permitting, the evening will include an outdoor movie & entertainment. Participants are invited to bring games, balls, musical instruments, etc.. Dinner will be provided as well as a light breakfast and plenty of beverages. There are indoor restrooms on site, and the area is very safe.
