It’s that time again!
Join us for Cardboard Box City this year!
October 16-17 (MEA Weekend)
What is Cardboard Box City?
Cardboard Box City is an event to raise awareness about homelessness in Rochester. Participants of all ages will experience what it might be like to be homeless by spending one night in a Cardboard Box. All participants are also asked to collect “rent” to stay in Cardboard Box City. All rent money goes to benefit our local organizations such as the Dorothy Day House, Interfaith Hospitality Network and the Salvation Army.
All students grades 7-12 are encouraged to join us. We will meet late afternoon on Friday, head over to Soldiers Field, set up our homes and then spend the night outside! There will be live entertainment and some warm food to keep us going throughout the night. In the morning we’ll wake up early, take down our boxes and have breakfast together in McCarthy Hall.
This is a great experience for all students, but in order to make it happen we NEED PARENT SUPPORT. Support in many different areas is need, registration/paperwork collection, chaperoning, transportation, box donations, supplies donations, food items, etc. If you are interested, please contact Carol.
Confirmation students—look for a sign up sheet at the meetings this weekend for more information. All permission forms are due Wednesday, September 30th.
Keep Your Eyes Open for MORE INFORMATION!
