Sleep Out 2025

Huckleberry House’s Sleep Out is more than just a night outside; it's a powerful movement. Each year, individuals and teams come together to raise awareness and critical funds to support young people facing homelessness in our community. Participants spend the night outside to better understand the challenges youth experience when they don’t have a safe place to call home.

Every dollar raised helps provide shelter, resources, and support
to young people as they work toward stability and independence.
