HOPE 4 Youth's Out of the Cold campaign runs November 1-18, 2021. This three-week fundraiser raises money to support young people experiencing homelessness during our cold winter months.
Here's how you can help:
- Go out in the cold for an hour (or more) between November 1-18.
- Choose the day, time and place to be out in the cold. It could be your backyard, a business or school parking lot, a park, up in a deer stand or anywhere else.
- During your time outside, post your experience on social media (#outofthecold) and encourage your network of friends, family and coworkers to donate to your online fundraising page.
Set up your online fundraising page or make a general donation through HOPE 4 Youth's website.
Also, consider being part of the fundraiser's finale, The Final Freeze, on Thursday, November 18, from 4-8 p.m. Swing by the Anoka County Sheriff's Office in Andover to drop donations. More details are available on the Final Freeze event page.
