What: A Cardboard City- our goal is to gather as many youth together as possible and spend the night in a temporary dwelling; a cardboard box 

When: Saturday May19th at 5:00pm (to assemble houses) to 9:00 am Sunday May 20th

Why: To raise awareness of homelessness here within our local community and to raise money for an organizations that supports the homeless and impoverished: Family Promise of Warren County, Inc. 

Where: Parking lot of St. Mary’s School and Church of the Assumptions front lawn. Hackettstown, NJ 

How: Become a resident of the city by collecting pledges and spending one night in a cardboard box. Invite your friends to participate as well.

Bring: Your dwelling if possible, (or contact Lisa Valentino and let her know that you will need a box.) Duct tape, a sleeping bag and a pillow, a quiet game like cards.

Do Not Bring: Personal electronic devices (such as ipods, hand held video games etc.) If you bring a cell phone we will ask that you use it in case of emergency only.

What will be provided at the event: A simple meal for dinner much like what would be served at a soup kitchen and a simple breakfast in the morning as well.

What if it rains: Just as the homeless do we will cope with the weather that day. If a safety risk is involved we will move the event indoors.
