SAMPLE COPY:

Suburban poverty can be hard to see, so it might surprise you to know that 200 of the 2,100 families Interfaith Outreach & Community Partners worked with last year experienced homelessness. The average cost for Interfaith Outreach to keep a family of four in their home for a month is $1,200. Will you help me reach my goal of raising $_____ for the Sleep Out to help support a struggling family at risk of homelessness?

Gifts to the Sleep Out help deliver individualized services (in the areas of family support, food, housing and neighborhoods, education and youth, employment, and transportation) that help local families, seniors and kids each year stabilize, strengthen and thrive.

Thank you for your support!
