Hagood Homes Presents Sleep Out Brunswick

 Sign up to Sleep Out! It’s a 15-hour countywide sleepout, Poverty Simulation© and fundraising experience.  Hagood Homes is the presenting sponsor. We have have two main goals:  provide participants with an awareness of what homelessness could feel like and raise funds for services and transitional housing in Brunswick County. 

The main event takes place Friday, Oct. 24 at 4 p.m.- Saturday, Oct. 25 ending by 7 a.m. at Brunswick Community College in Bolivia NC. Spend the night with us safely in tents, cardboard boxes or cars and raise donations by doing so. Sign up at brunswickpartnership.org/SleepOutBrunswick.  It’s easy.

Busy Oct. 24?  No problem.  You can still sleep out and raise money. Choose your own date and sleep offsite between Sept. 24 – Oct. 24.  Off-site participants may gather friends, neighbors, church youth groups, a club or organization and sleep in their driveway, back yard, or church parking lot, for example.  If sleeping outside isn’t possible, sleep on the floor or couch – just not a comfy bed.  

On-site participants will experience the Poverty Simulation© sponsored by Novant Health.  “This is an opportunity to feel what it’s like to be homeless and in poverty,” said BPH Executive Director Sally Learned.  “This a profound and moving guided experience that we’re delighted to bring to Sleep Out Brunswick.”

Both on-site and off-site participants must register.  See the detailed tool kits including frequently asked questions and fundraising tips.
