Join us for a night outside to raise awareness and funds to help combat homelessness over the winter months.

You just need a sleeping bag and an open heart. Invite family and friends to support you.

Sleeping rough, which refers to the practice of sleeping in public spaces, is a particularly visible form of homelessness.

In the United States, the annual Point-in-Time Count in 2022 found that there were approximately 580,000 people experiencing homelessness on a given night - 106,000 of which were sleeping rough.

This year, on December 6^th, Metro Relief will host its first Big Sleep Out. Metro Relief is committed to addressing homelessness in the Metroplex through our person-centered, mobile-first approach. We know the importance of our community's understanding of the complex challenges our friends face. The Big Sleep Out was born out of this idea. What we will experience in one night is just a glimpse into the daily reality of many of our friends.

Metro Relief has set a goal to raise $50,000 before the Big Sleep Out, and we ask that you aim to raise at least $500 personally through your unique profile. Simply press the fundraise button and create an account to add yourself as a member to begin raising money! Share your unique link with friends and family to get everyone involved.

Calling all youth group leaders...

We welcome and encourage you and your group to join the Big Sleep Out! Give your youth group the opportunity to see firsthand the power of a community coming together with a shared goal. Create a 'team' profile on this campaign page, where you will have the ability to add members and work towards a shared fundraising goal!

We ask that all guardians fill out a release form for their minor. Each supervisor should be responsible for no more than 7 minors.

Do you have a child under age 12?

No problem, let’s talk! We know how invaluable an experience like this is for the youth in our community, and we would love to work with you.

We can't wait to see you on December 6th!
