This is the only fundraiser the Boos-Spires gang does each year but it's for an insanely good cause: ending youth homelessness. Whether it's caused by violence at home, a failed foster system, rejection over LBGTQIA+ status, or generational poverty, it's unaccetpable. But it's also entirely solvable. So let's solve it! 

*AND* I'm adding a cupcake kicker this year... I'll drop off six of my homemade cupcakes for each [local] donor. Do they have taxable value? Nope. Are they cute and delicious? For sure. Is it the best cupcake-for-a-cause you'll ever eat? Totally. 

So please chip in whatever you can. And if the weather is nice, swing by our tent at the homestead on April 29th (text for address)!

3,000 young people ages 14 to 24 will experience homelessness in Columbus in 2021.

Another 4,000 will be at risk of homelessness, unsure of where they will sleep on any given night.

At Huckleberry House, a brighter future starts at our front door.

From the 96 new apartments opened since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to the 19,691 nights of shelter provided in 2021, we are meeting the needs of homeless and unstably housed youth ages 12 to 24. With a 90% success rate in our Transitional Living Program, we are addressing the long-term self-sufficiency of young people and keeping them out of the adult homeless system. Proceeds of the SLEEP OUT! benefit the proven programs of Huckleberry House.

You can help raise awareness and much-need funds. Donate or sign up to sleep out to become part of the solution.
