World's Big Sleep Out NY Times Square 1 · 7 December 2019 ·

The World's Big Sleep Out is a one-off charity campaign with the aim to help 1 million people experiencing homelessness around the world through a global program of Sleep Out events in December 2019.

Story

On December 7th, we’ll be taking part in The Big Sleep Out NYC, a campaign to bring awareness to homelessness and displaced people/families in New York, and around the world. 

The Institute for Global Homelessness, Unicef USA and The Malala Fund, have come together with The World Big Sleepout and it’s founder Josh Littlejohn, who’s also the co-founder of The Social Bites Charity,(a cafe in Scotland that offers employment and food to the homeless).

As part of this campaign, we’re taking part in a fundraiser that will benefit different charities, one of which is The Robin hood Foundation, a New York base Organization that helps in the fight against homelessness and hunger, also helping to secure employment for individuals.

Funds raise from this event will go towards helping many New Yorkers, individuals and family around the country.

According to the Coalition for the Homeless: In September 2019, there were approximately 62,391 homeless New Yorkers, that includes 14,962 homeless families and 22,083 homeless children. Families make up 2/3 of the homeless population in shelters. In recent years homelessness in New York City has reached its highest since the Great Depression of 1930.

With the help of The Institute for Global Homelessness, The Robin Hood Foundation, Unicef USA and the Malala Fund, many homeless/displaced individuals and families have been provided with opportunity of housing and assistance in gaining employment, so they can improve and rebuild their lives, family care and community.

Please, contribute whatever you can and help in the fight against homelessness.

Thank you.
