On November 20th, 2026, the Hornbuckle Foundation's – Connections of Hope Outreach Team will host Sleep Out, a community event where we will be joining our community members on the street to raise awareness and support for those experiencing homelessness. 

This isn’t just a fundraiser—it’s an act of solidarity. Each night, hundreds of individuals in our own community face the harsh reality of sleeping without shelter. For many, access to basic needs like hygiene supplies, warm clothing, and even a listening ear feels out of reach. These aren’t just statistics—they’re people with stories, struggles, and strength. 

​

Through the Sleep Out, we aim to: Raise $10,000 to support outreach recovery efforts, collect hygiene supplies (soap, toothbrushes, feminine products, etc.) and gather warm clothing (coats, gloves, socks, hats) ahead of the winter season. 

​

We will document the experience of navigating systems of support while unhoused as well as gathering insight from those we serve—shedding light on the real barriers people face when trying to receive help. We believe that empathy grows through experience. That’s why we’re choosing to sleep out, side-by-side with the people we serve and provide a listening ear to those who feel unseen. We will step into the uncomfortable and vulnerable spaces too many call their everyday reality. 

But we can’t do this alone.
