Thank you for supporting the walk! The autumn air guided us through Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Staten Island, bringing us back to where we started. Every step made a difference for those experiencing homelessness. Your support raised funds for sleeping bags, bringing warmth and comfort. We sincerely appreciate your kindness. Together, we can bring hope and change to the vulnerable. Thank you!
THE SLEEPING BAG PROJECT NYC’S ANNUAL ‘KAREN STEDMAN WALK FOR WARMTH’, IS SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 15TH, 2023. WE WILL BE LEAVING FROM IN FRONT OF NYP BROOKLYN (METHODIST) @ 8AM.
