Families Walking for Families |
|
The Cardboard Box City shines a light on the plight of homeless families by giving participants a brief taste of what it would be like to be homeless. Each fall participants build a city of cardboard box shelters which they sleep in for the night. The event includes dinner, breakfast, prizes, and entertainment. Funds are raised through pledges collected by participants and by business sponsorships. In addition to raising awareness, the event produces much needed funds to keep our program going.

Families Walking for Families is an opportunity for those who cannot stay the night but would like to help raise awareness and help make our Cardboard Box City event a success. The event consist of a short walk on the day of the CBC event. Participants simply donate $25 per family and complete the 30-minute walk. Come raise awareness and show support for those who will sleep outside for one night, so children don’t have to.
