Family Promise of Monmouth County invites families, youth groups, scouting troops, schools, corporations, small businesses and more to the seventh annual Cardboard Box City fundraiser to help raise awareness about family homelessness in Monmouth County.
The Cardboard Box City “Friend” and “Fund” raiser will start at 5 p.m. on Oct. 14 until Oct. 15, rain or shine, at Monmouth Church of Christ, 312 Hance Ave., Tinton Falls.
Participants in Cardboard Box City raise a minimum of $100 in pledges and contributions and sleep overnight in a cardboard box “home” as a resident of Cardboard Box City. Family Promise will award prizes for participants who raise the most money and present the most creative dwelling.
Family Promise of Monmouth County provides food, shelter and services to homeless families in Monmouth County in cooperation with a network of interfaith congregations, while advocating innovative solutions to chronic homelessness.
