Carrie Seawald's three daughters—Debra, 12, Danielle, 10, and Savanah, 4,—have been sleeping outside in a box for nearly three weeks. If the girl's have it their way, they will sleep outside on their backyard deck through Christmas Eve—45 nights in all. Why? It's all to raise money and awareness for the fight against homelessness and hunger in Minnesota. Click here to donate to the Seawald sisters. "There are so many people and families out there that do not have the basics in life like food, shelter and clothing," Carrie said.

Enter Interfaith Outreach and Community Partners' (IOCP) annual "Sleep Out…

by LaDonna Hoy, IOCP Executive Director Seventeen years ago, Shoe-Bob Fisher tapped on the soul of a whole community with a great idea. He had been watching people come and go from the IOCP Food Shelf and began wondering what they'd be doing for Thanksgiving. The great idea that came to him while he was trying out a new tent in his yard was what if he told his customers that he was going to sleep out in the cold in this tent for as long as it might take to raise $7,000 to provide a Thanksgiving dinner for 100 families who come to the IOCP Food Shelf. Crazy idea? Not so. Charmed by the idea, his customers picked up their shoes, made their donations, spread the word, and a week before Thanksgiving, a happy Bob came by with not $7,000 but $10…

Three sisters from Shorewood have been sleeping outside in a cardboard box for almost two weeks. “It gets really cold,” 9-year-old Danielle Sewald said.

The girls say they want to raise money to keep as many people as possible off Minnesota streets this winter.
