Randa Powers's Fundraiser
It's BYOBox time! On November 17 I will be sleeping outside to raise funds for WellSpring Family Shelter. Through this annual sleep out in solidarity, WellSpring hopes to raise enough finds to provide food, shelter, and hope for at least 25 families.
Please support my mission to end homelessness by sponsoring me as I sleep outside in a box on November 17. Every dollar helps! Thank you for your donation!

Poverty affects more than one in every three households in Morgan County. 35% of households in our community struggle to meet their most basic needs. That is an increase of 12% since 2018. Homeless numbers are also on the rise. That means more children living couch to couch, in the back seats of cars, and even garages and storage sheds. Food prices, especially post pandemic, are contributing to food insecurity for everyone from young families to the elderly. Children are enduring trauma at alarming rates and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE's) scores are at record numbers.
Since 1988, WellSpring has been serving those effected by poverty. Last year, we provided emergency shelter to 278 unique individuals, totaling 8,894 nights of emergency shelter and more than 15,000 nights of permanent supportive housing. More than 500 individuals in need were provided with food, and nearly 100 utilized our unsheltered laundry and shower services. With the closure of Manna Mission, a shelter for men experiencing homelessness, we created three sleeping rooms to help fill the void. However, the demands keep increasing- we have a long waiting list for men and families in need of emergency shelter.
Join me in supporting real change in the lives of families experiencing the effects of poverty. Let’s support good in the world and make a real tangible difference. You can make the ultimate goal of ending homelessness, one family at a time, a reality with your best gift today!
Just a small donation sponsoring my night out in a box will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for WellSpring.
