Sixth Annual Long, Long Night Of Hope

St. John's Anglican Church in North Vancouver is proud to be a partner in the 6th annual Long, Long Night of Hope, a fundraiser for homelessness! Participants are already beginning to register and raise money. Every dollar raised again will be donated to the Lookout Housing and Health Society's shelter in North Vancouver 

The fundraising is easy, just a few clicks on your keyboard and then sharing your personal fundraising page through social media. The harder part is the actual long, LONG night of hope, Saturday, March 5, 2022, when participants sleep in their cars, or on their couch for the night - just like one-third of homeless do every single night. It will be cold and uncomfortable, but so very worthwhile.

Please consider taking part in The Long, Long Night of Hope 2020, or sponsor someone from your office to take part. Get everyone you know to contribute to your personal goal. And share your journey through social media, so your friends, family and followers can cheer you on.

Homelessness is not hopelessness. You can be the hope.

The Long, Long Night of Hope: A fundraiser for the homeless in our community

Saturday, March 5, 2022 

One mid-winter night - on what feels like the longest night any of us will experience this year - we bundle up in place with sleeping bags and warm blankets to spend the night in our car. 

Why are we doing this? 

First, to get a tiny taste of what it is like for the thousands of homeless men, women and children living in the Lower Mainland ... people struggling against the elements (and our indifference) just to survive however they can. 

Second, to raise funds in support of The Lookout Society's programs supporting the homeless on the North Shore. 

Each volunteer is pledging to raise funds through friends and social media (suggested personal goal is $500. each). All funds raised by the volunteers will be collected through an online pledge site, and the entire amount will go to the Lookout Society on the North Shore ...funds used to feed and offer shelter to families with nowhere else to go. 

Why are we doing this?

Because we can. Because we should. Because we care. 

Here is the link to register and create your fundraising page for the event, and to donate.  Thank You!
