Norristown Hospitality Center Hosts “A Night Without A Home” Sleep Out
Community members are asked to give up their beds for one night in solidarity with those experiencing homelessness.
Norristown, PA – The Norristown Hospitality Center will host its annual “A Night Without A Home” Sleep Out
on November 16th on the steps of the Montgomery County Courthouse (2 East Airy Street, Norristown) to raise awareness and funds for those experiencing homelessness in our community. This event will be taking place during the National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week.
“A Night Without A Home” is an opportunity for housed individuals to experience the realities of homelessness firsthand by spending a night outside. Participants will sleep on the sidewalk, in cardboard boxes, or in tents, learn about the challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness, and raise funds to support the Norristown Hospitality Center’s programs and services. The event will include speakers, a candlelight vigil, an advocacy letter writing campaign, and the solidarity sleep out. For those who cannot attend in person, individuals can participate virtually.
