Working Together to End Homelessness

To help raise awareness for homelessness, The Lord’s Place will be hosting their FREE virtual event – SleepIn for SleepOut on Friday, April 9th (4/9/21), starting at 6 PM. This fundraising event will feature powerful stories by those affected by homelessness, as well as a wide range of activities for all ages to help educate people on homelessness…and seeks to raise funds to help impact the lives of 1,700 men, women, and children served annually in their journey out of homelessness.
