A night outside, for neighbors who have no inside.
Are YOU up to the challenge???
Join us for Gimme Shelter, celebrating 10 years of bringing our community together to raise awareness about homelessness!
Spend the night outside in your vehicle or a cardboard box and help support Phoenix Community Development Services' mission to end homelessness for good. It's an unforgettable experience that makes a real difference for our neighbors experiencing homelessness.
What is Gimme Shelter???
Gimme Shelter is our annual fundraiser that invites participants to experience one night outside while raising awareness about homelessness in Central Illinois.
