The Canadian Mental Health Association HPE, along with other groups, agencies, and charities in the Quinte region are working together on the annual Sleep Out – So Others Can Sleep In.
It is taking place the evening of Friday January 31 to Saturday February 1.
Sandie Sidsworth is the Executive Director of the Canadian Mental Health Association. Their offices at 250 Sidney Street in Belleville host the annual event. She says there are so many groups trying to make a difference in the area.
She adds that the evening will be a night of education and information.
Sidsworth says when you sleep an entire evening outside, you gain a new perspective.
For those who are able to brave the entire evening, breakfast will be served the morning of February 1.
