Sleep Out: In Solidarity with Globally Unsheltered

Sleep Outside in Support of Youth Facing Homelessness

From 7 pm 3/25 until 7 am 3/26, supporters in Santa Barbara will be spending the night away from the comfort of their homes, to raise awareness about and funds for youth facing homelessness. 

This is local participation in the 2023 annual International Sleep Out organized by Covenant House. The local Sleep Out is planned by members of the congregation of First United Methodist Church, Santa Barbara.

Sleep Out participation is an act of solidarity with the 4.2 million young people who experienced homelessness last year, recognizing the issue of homelessness and sending a message that everyone deserves a safe place to sleep.
