Box City for Haven of Hope

Box City is July 18, 2025 at Fountain Park! This is an overnight event in the park to raise awareness and money for homelessness in our area! The youth event will start at 10:00pm after the Feel Good Friday in the park. The park will be fenced off and the area patrolled by police for safety. We also have many adult volunteers to help with safety. This event is full of fun, food, games, music, small group convos, and more!

We will be posting the youth signup and waiver soon. Until then, email below to signup!  You can also show up and sign up the night of the event, but will need a parent signature and emergency medical form filled out. For more information you can email Sierra.poulson@vanwertfirst.net or Teresa.shaffer@vanwertfirst.net
