Kids Sleep Outside In Hinsdale To Support Homeless Neighbors

HINSDALE, IL — Several kids from the western suburbs will sleep outside on Saturday to raise awareness for families that have become homeless. According to a release, a group of 50 middle schoolers from Christ Church of Oak Brook will spend a night outside in tents and cardboard boxes. The students are trying to raise $10,000 for families who are homeless.

The event will take place on Saturday, Oct. 21 from 6 p.m. until 7 a.m. Sunday. The sleep-out will occur at Burlington Park in downtown Hinsdale. Middle School Director Steve Noble and a team of adult volunteers will supervise kids from Hinsdale, Clarendon Hills, Oak Brook, Downers Grove, Western Springs, and Lombard.
