Spend a Night Homeless with Good Samaritan Shelter

The Shelter will be holding a Night of Awareness in April.

On April 19, Good Samaritan Shelter is inviting you to spend a night on the streets. Well, sort of.

The shelter will be holding its second annual Night of Awareness event at Valley Forge Christian College. Attendees will be spending the night at the campus, outside, to raise money for the Good Samaritan and to sharpen empathy for those who spend every night outdoors. 

The event will again feature speakers, a candlelight vigil, and a time for reflection on the causes homelessness. Attendees will also get a chance to assemble care packages and write letters of encouragement for the residents of Good Samaritan Shelter.
