Goshen Sleep Boxes Cardboard Beds

As far as trying to wake up the government is concerned, it took a couple of students from Goshen College to help get the attention of local officials and the news as well to drive the homelessness awareness in the area. To stress their points, they used in lieu of the standard beds, cardboard boxes to make sure that what they are fighting will immediately be noticed.

Some Goshen College students are going the extra mile to raise awareness of homelessness.

These campus ministry students are sleeping in cardboard boxes Friday night to make sure people are aware of the homeless and to demonstrate the need for affordable housing.

They’re hoping this makeshift Shack City draws people in.

“I think it’s important for other people to come and see us sleeping out here, and maybe they’ll come and ask why,” said Goshen College student Phil Schmidt.

Goshen College students have been doing this for the past few years.
