It’s that time of year again! Box City Vigil is an annual event that takes place each spring held at the Minnesota State Capitol. The primary goal of BCV is to raise awareness for youth homelessness in our home state.
As many as 2,500 youth are homeless on any given night in Minnesota, but there are fewer than 50 beds designated for homeless youth in the Twin Cities. By participating, you are sending a message to capable adults that you care about this and want to make a difference.
At the event we will provide cardboard boxes, plenty of snacks, and there will be a midnight pizza delivery! Throughout the night, you will hear speakers, listen to great music, and learn about homelessness and homeless youth.
