The Sleep Out is not about pretending to be homeless. We Sleep Out to show our solidarity with those who are — and to let the world know about the ever-growing population of young people who face homelessness.

And there's more to Sleep Out than a night without a mattress. Sleep Out raises critical funds to help Covenant House provide 24/7 shelter, sanctuary, and support to youth overcoming homelessness.

The Sleep Out brings communities together (virtually, for now) for a night of conversation, contemplation, education, and story sharing.

In a time when so many are feeling isolated and seeking connection, Sleep Out offers an opportunity for safe, meaningful interactions.
