JOIN OUR HOMECOMING CELEBRATION

Saturday September 24     7pm - 10pm

Wayne and Sheila Luck's barn at N5821 Gilman Rd Scandinavia  

FOR ONLY $10 (and a non-perishable food item for our Warming Center) you will enjoy music from D.J. Jamming Johnny Hammond, delicious snacks, and a chance to win some cash in our 50/50 raffles.

FFL IS PASSIONATE about giving folds like 24 year old "Jake" (not his real name", - who is struggling to overcome addiction and poverty - the opporunity to find VALUE, DIGNITY, and SECURITY. 

ALL PROCEEDS from SLEEPOUT 2016 and the HOMECOMING DANCE will be used to keep our Warming Center and Housing programs sustainable so "Jake" (and other like him) can live the lives they dream of.
