Family Promise Cardboard Box City

A fabulous box from the 2009 Cardboard Box City

It's that time of year again: time to get a really big box, decorate it, collect pledges, and then sleep in your box at Bogert Park to raise money for Family Promise of Gallatin Valley. The Family Promise Cardboard Box City 2010 is coming Friday, September 24th, with set up beginning at 5pm, dinner at 6pm and the parade of boxes (for everyone, even if you're not spending the night) at 7pm. This event is not only a ton of fun and the biggest fund raiser for an amazing ministry to homeless families in our area, it's practically guaranteed to make you appreciate the roof over your head and the warm, comfortable bed you get to sleep in every night. Not bad, huh?

You can learn more at familypromisegv.org and pick up a brochure and money collection envelope here at CtK.

We'll be having a "Build Your Box" event here on Sunday evening, from 5-7pm. Bring your big box (fridge boxes work well) and decorating supplies, and join with other CtK folks to get ready for next Friday night!
