Because every young person deserves a safe home. Because every night matters. SleepOut is a night spent outside to raise awareness and funds to address critical needs and transform lives in New Hampshire.

I’m participating in the Waypoint NH SleepOut as an act of radical empathy for young people in New Hampshire experiencing homelessness. Each year, an estimated 15,000 youth in our state face housing instability, and one night outside is my way of standing in solidarity and saying: we see you, we hear you, and you’re not alone. SleepOut raises awareness and critical funds to support New Hampshire’s only low-barrier emergency youth shelter in Manchester, youth resource centers in Manchester and Rochester, and vital support services across the state that help young people move toward long-term stability. Donations go directly to supporting youth who urgently need these services.

Thank you for your support!
