Family Promise's Annual Cardboard City

We want to be there for families and need you. Family Promise’s Cardboard City gives you a way to keep a family experiencing homelessness together and safe.

The fourteenth Cardboard City will be “constructed” November 15-16 at Lakewood Church, 6133 San Jose Boulevard, Jacksonville, FL 32217 behind the Church of Christ. Come for the evening or come spend the night!

Build your cardboard structure for the evening. You can sleep in what you build. If you plan to sleep in a tent or car, we ask that you add a cardboard structure to your sleeping arrangements. We will have large flat pieces of cardboard and a limited amount of tape. Bring decorations, markers, paint, tape, signage, props or anything else to create your structure.

Tackle The Social Service Maze! This is an interactive experience! You will have “your family “scenario for navigating stations to get the resources your “family” needs to move out of homelessness.

Be our guest for a simple dinner. Donated by Lakewood Church, this will be served food line style.

Virtual participants will spend the night at home but not in their bed. Spend the night sleeping on the couch, on the floor, in the car in the driveway, or in a tent.

Support Family Promise by collecting donations for spending the evening or spending the night and sharing our giving page.

You can text to give by texting CARDBOARD to 44-321.

This is a great event for families, youth groups and anyone who wants to make a difference in the life of a child. Register online by clicking the link below!
