MANCHESTER – Approximately 130 people slept outside Friday night on the cold, wet ground, through whipping winds, in downtown Manchester.
They were a part of Waypoint’s 5th annual SleepOut to raise funds and awareness to aid New Hampshire’s homeless youth. So far, they’ve raised more than $332,000.
Among the many “sleepers” hunkered down outside the Doubletree by Hilton under a giant canopy, donating time and raising money for the cause, were Governor Chris Sununu, Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig, and Congressman Chris Pappas.
