Our Mission & History

The Sleepout to Knockout Homelessness is organized by Matthew’s Light, who is steadfastly committed to the monumental task of ending homelessness and food insecurity through a multitude of community-driven initiatives and sustainable solutions. Since our inception, we have tirelessly dedicated ourselves to uplifting vulnerable populations and advocating for impactful, lasting change within our communities. Our efforts have included not only providing direct assistance to those in need but also engaging in public awareness campaigns to educate our community about the severe challenges faced by the homeless and food-insecure individuals. Through collaboration with local organizations, volunteers, and supporters, we aim to create a comprehensive support system that addresses both immediate needs and long-term solutions. We believe that by empowering individuals and fostering a sense of community responsibility, we can work together to create a future where everyone has access to safe housing and nutritious food.

Mark your calendars for an exceptionally impactful night that you won’t want to miss! We are thrilled to announce that the highly anticipated Sleepout event will take place on October 10, 2025, at various meaningful locations throughout the Houston area. This unique experience invites you to spend a night under the stars, allowing participants to connect with the environment in a profound way while raising awareness and funds for an extraordinary cause. This event not only provides a chance to reflect on the importance of community and compassion but also allows us the opportunity to support those who are less fortunate. Together, we can truly make a difference in the lives of many, creating a ripple effect of positive change. So gather your friends, family, and colleagues to join us for this unforgettable experience and be a part of something bigger. Let’s unite under the night sky for a purpose that matters!
