Family Promise's #NightWithoutaBedGV
New Location!: Story Mill Park's Lalani and Davis Pavilions OR Anywhere you want (Virtual)!
In addition to posting on social media, we ask you to challenge a friend or family member to complete #NightWithoutABedGV or make a donation to Family Promise of Gallatin Valley. You can ask 10 people to donate $10 to help you reach your goal of $100. Our goal of $25,000 raised will provide our guests with essential things, such as childcare, gas, transportation, emergency shelter, basic necessities, moving costs and much more. Challenge your community to help local families break the cycle of homelessness and move into a stable home and healthy life!
The reality is, families experiencing homelessness don't sleep in cardboard boxes, they sleep in tents, cars, and a friend's living room floor. Give up your bed for a night to join us in our fight against family homelessness.
