🏕️ MSA SLEEPOUT FOR THE HOMELESS: 5 NIGHTS FOR CHANGE 🏕️
📅 Date: Saturday, March 8th, 2025
⏰ Time: 8:00 PM
📍 Location: UNC Building
On March 8th, 2025, members of the MSA Club will sleep out in the UNC Building to raise awareness about homelessness in Kelowna and across B.C.. This initiative is not just a symbolic act—it’s a commitment to understanding, reflecting, and advocating for those who experience homelessness every single day.
With volunteers, we will brave the nights with minimal comfort, experiencing just a fraction of what thousands go through daily. Whether sleeping inside or outside, we aim to spark meaningful discussions, challenge perspectives, and inspire action toward real solutions for homelessness.
💰 Every dollar raised goes directly to support unhoused individuals, covering essential costs like food, shelter, and resources. This event is more than just an overnight experience—it’s a movement for change.
Join us in spreading awareness, making an impact, and standing in solidarity with those who need it most. Together, we can make a difference!
