About A Night in the Cold 2025

Now in its 6th year, A Night in the Cold continues to grow—and this year brings something new! We’re excited to introduce ANITC HQ - a central gathering location where participants can come together in solidarity and purpose. We’d love for you to be part of this meaningful night.

Give One Night for Our Neighbors

On Friday, December 5th, participants will spend one night braving the cold to raise awareness—and critical funds—for our shelter and programs at Homeless Solutions.

This year, for the first time, we’re introducing ANITC HQ and inviting participants to come together in person on the Morristown High School football field.

  • A warming area will be available in the cafeteria

  • Dinner and breakfast will be provided

  • Space is limited to 250 attendees, so register early!

Prefer to participate from home? No problem! Just like in past years, you can be apart of our Cold Collective and sleep outside in your backyard, car, garage, porch, or any safe outdoor space.

Where and how you sleep is up to you—the important thing is showing solidarity with those experiencing housing instability, and helping us raise vital funds for our shelter and support services.

Why It Matters

A Night in the Cold is more than just a night outside. It’s a powerful act of empathy and a crucial fundraiser for Homeless Solutions, supporting shelter and programs that help individuals and families rebuild their lives. Your participation helps provide warmth, safety, and hope to those who need it most.
