For 15 years, the Wheeling SleepOut has brought our community together to shine a light on young adults who do not have a safe place to call home.The SleepOut continues to take a new form as we “Light the Market.”
For one night, Market Plaza will beam with glowing cardboard structures, each designed around this year’s theme. While the event takes a different form, the spirit of the SleepOut remains the same. It shines a spotlight on the questions many young people face: Where do I sleep? Where do I turn?
The Wheeling SleepOut is YSS’ annual fundraiser supporting the Transitional Living Program for young adults ages 17 to 24. Young adults in the program come from all walks of life. Some have aged out of foster care, have nowhere to go or are living in unsafe conditions.
Through the Transitional Living Program, YSS works alongside these young adults to provide housing, life skills and employment assistance as they work toward greater independence.
Join us for Wheeling SleepOut: Light the Market as an exciting way to build awareness and show support for the young adults in our community.
