Night Without a Bed | Saturday, May 3

In January 2024, there were over 1,700 reported homeless individuals in Indianapolis. Of that, 25% were children! That was a 5% increase from 2023, and we expect to see a similar increase in 2025. 

This year, Family Promise has a goal to raise $225,000 through the annual Night Without a Bed campaign, to sustain and grow the Apartment Shelter Program. Please share this campaign with friends, family and coworkers so we can help more families in greater Indianapolis find safe and stable housing! 

  1. Form a team with friends, family, coworkers or members of your congregation. 
  2. Go to www.givegab.com/campaigns/2025-night-without-a-bed and click “Start Fundraising”. 
  3. Share the campaign on social media. 
  4. Come to the Community Fest on May 3rd at Castleton UMC from 12:00pm-2:00pm  to pick up your T-shirt and enjoy a fun, family-friendly afternoon. 
  5. Sleep anywhere but your bed on May 3rd, take a selfie, and share on social media (please tag #NWAB). 

Together, we can end homelessness in Indianapolis… Because EVERY child deserves a home!
