Homeless for a Night

Submitted by deon.youd on

Plans are underway for the 5th annual Homeless for a Night event at Spanish Fork High School. The annual tradition is an all-night service activity and fundraiser for Tabitha's Way in Spanish Fork. Students from SFHS and around Nebo School District give up a night of sleep to gain empathy for those who do not have the basic necessities. Students have a lot of fun along the way.

"Homeless is the best. It's all for a good cause, and it's a blast," said Dirk Wilkins, junior at SFHS.

Last year, the event raised nearly $9,000 for Tabitha's Way.
