Night Without A Bed
One Evening | One Mission | One Hope
March 28th – 29th, 2025
Lunch Break’s Family Promise invites Monmouth County youth to participate in Night Without A Bed, an event dedicated to raising awareness and funds for families experiencing homelessness. This initiative helps support crucial programs and services for those in need. Participants sleep in a box for one night and raise pledges, offering a meaningful way to understand and address the challenges faced by those without a home.
