The Waypoint SleepOut 2022
A Night in the Cold that Changes Lives
On a cold day in March, 270 people of all walks of life, all across the state, spent a night out in the cold as a way to raise funds to support services to young people experiencing homelessness and take the next step toward ending homelessness in New Hampshire.
During this important night, sleepers came together online for a livestream event that featured Governor Chris Sununu; Dylan, a young person who was receiving services and would soon be getting his first apartment; and a presentation by Waypoint staff that revealed the agency’s plans for expansion of services in three areas of the state.
By the next morning, they had raised over $313,000. (See articles on the expansion and a day in the life of the center, on pages 8 and 10. Visit tinyurl.com/daywithDYLAN to view Dylan’s video interview.)
“In light of all that is going on in the world around us,” says Borja Alvarez de Toledo, president and CEO of Waypoint, “we are beyond grateful to live in a community that stays on mission, helping one another through even the most challenging times. On behalf of our board, staff and those we serve, we thank Granite Staters for helping to bring New Hampshire’s most vulnerable youth closer to home.”
DYLAN moves into his new apartment, thanks to support of our services to end homelessness.
