Brunswick Partnership for Housing

Wow! What a Great Event!

Sleep Out Brunswick was an amazing success thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and supporters. We raised more than $50,000 with nearly 240 supporters. The Poverty Simulation gave 45 attendees the experience of what it could feel like to be without a home and in poverty, and nearly 25 people slept out.

Here is some of the great media coverage we received:

Brunswick Partnership for Housing has received a $15,000 donation from Hagood Hope for Children, the Hagood Homes foundation. “Brunswick Partnership for Housing is an ideal fit for the mission of Hagood Hope for Children,” Patrick Kennedy, Hagood CEO said. “We have committed our lives to housing. Home is where we live, raise families, build a life … We’re happy to give back in a way that can give a family a permanent place they can call home.”

“Our community is so generous, Sally Learned, BPH Executive Director said. “Through this gift we’re able to move closer to paying off the mortgage for our building.”
