United Way Thunder Bay Presents - Sleepless in Thunder Bay

Each night in Thunder Bay, hundreds of people experience homelessness.

Even on a chilly March evening, dozens are left with nowhere safe to sleep.

Stay awake with us on March 28 as we spend the night in our cars to raise awareness and funds in support of Pathways to HOME.

Register by Friday, March 20: There is no registration fee.
Start Fundraising: Each participant is encouraged to raise a minimum of $1,000 to help reach our collective goal of $30,000 to support individuals and families experiencing homelessness in our community.
Sleep in Your Car on Saturday, March 28:
- Registered participants will enter their car at 10:00 PM, remaining in their vehicle until 8:00 AM the following morning.
- Before spending the night in your car, be sure to review our Participant Safety Checklist in the Participant Event Toolkit! All participants must sign the 2026 Sleepless Waiver and email it to events@uwaytbay.ca.
Spread the Word: Share the campaign with friends, family, and on social media. Your voice helps amplify the impact of this movement.
