Rochester to be in-person site for Waypoint's 2023 SleepOut in March
Staff reports 7:02 a.m.
ROCHESTER - Registration is now open for the 9th annual Waypoint SleepOut, scheduled for March 24. The SleepOut is a night spent out in the cold to raise community consciousness about youth homelessness and to raise funds for services that fulfill critical needs. To register, go to www.waypointnh.org. This year's event will be hybrid; registered participants may opt to sleep out (or in) at a place of their choosing, or, they may join in one of the Waypoint-hosted, in-person gatherings in downtown Manchester and Rochester. In New Hampshire, Waypoint is the sole provider of comprehensive services for youth experiencing homelessness. The nonprofit provides survival aid/basic needs relief and contributes to long-term stability and self-sufficiency through educational advocacy, job and life skills training, housing, access to mental health and addiction treatment services, and more. Waypoint hopes that through community collaborations, public awareness and advocacy, the expansion will create a greater social safety net for more youth, and effectively get another step closer to ending youth homelessness in New Hampshire. To register, donate, or get further information about SleepOut 2023, visit www.waypointnh.org/sleepout2023. The Waypoint SleepOut 2023 is sponsored in part by PROCON, Bank of America, and Rock 101/iHeart Radio.
