Join FSR/SARA Center for our 7th Annual Campout for Homeless Veterans as we raise awareness of homelessness of our military veterans in our community AND raise funds for the FSR/SARA Center programs, including those dedicated to serving veterans.
Boxes will be provided on site or available in advance from our sponsors. Campout in a simple box, or bring supplies to decorate yours for the contest! Raise the “rent” and get your campsite for the event by collecting pledges or donating to Fifth Street Renaissance!
