The Annual Aid For Friends Homeless Encampment is a unique event in which participants raise money by soliciting tax-deductible pledges from individuals and businesses, and spend the night in a cardboard box in the heart of an Idaho winter. There will be both light entertainment and heart-touching stories, as well as a soup kitchen style dinner and burn barrels for warmth.
The 18th Annual Encampment is going to be held at Caldwell Park in Pocatello, and begins at 10:00 am on Saturday, Dec. 7, 2024 and ends at 10:00 am on Sunday, Dec. 8, 2024.
We need YOU!
Help us make this our biggest encampment yet by committing to spend the night in a cardboard box for a single night. You will ask friends, family members, and business owners to sponsor you, and all donations will go right back to Aid For Friends.
