Freezin' for a Reason
Join community leaders and caring citizens as we gather together for the 13th Annual Freezin’ for a Reason Sleep Out and Fundraiser on Friday, Dec 12 at 6pm!
Spend a night on the Winsted Green, bringing awareness to the persistent issue of homelessness in our community and supporting the work of the Winsted Y Homeless Shelter. Pitch a tent, a cardboard box or sleep under the stars as you experience what it’s like to be homeless for a winter’s night. There is no registration fee, however participants/teams are asked to raise funds for the cause and get sponsorships for their night in the cold. Our goal is to raise $20,000 to support the work of Winchester Emergency Shelter.
