Sock It to Homlessness 2024
WHO WE ARE
Operation Nightwatch (Nightwatch) reduces the impact of poverty and homelessness in keeping with Jesus’ teaching to love our neighbors. Nightwatch provides food, shelter, housing and hope to Seattle’s most vulnerable population. Join us for an evening of sharing, dining, coffee and conversation with our board, community, staff and friends
THE EVENT
Sock It to Homelessness is an in-person event on November 24th, 2024. Socks are critical to the comfort and well-being of homeless people. Imagine what it must be like to have the same pair of nasty, wet socks on your feet, 24-hours a day. Not good. Socks won’t solve our community’s homeless crisis. But socks can keep homeless people hopeful, knowing there are neighbors like you, who care.

About OPERATION NIGHTWATCH
Location:
302 14th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98144, US
Mission Statement
Operation Nightwatch pulls homeless people out of doorways, finds them shelter and food, and gets them started on the road to recovery. Operation Nightwatch began in 1967 with ministers, nuns, and other religious workers from various churches taking turns going out on the streets, visiting bars and shelters, simply being a presence late at night. In the 1970s Nightwatch became a place for homeless people to be dispatched to shelter. Now about 85 homeless people are served nightly. Shelter is provided off-site for men every night.
Description
Volunteers help homeless people by preparing and serving meals at night, assisting with placing homeless people into area shelters, distributing essential supplies, and listening to the stories homeless people have to share. We do not require any religious activity on the part of clients or volunteers, though we are broadly Christian. Operation Nightwatch also provides support to our 24-unit senior apartment building. Volunteers can provide a variety of support services for individual senior tenants, most of whom have experienced homelessness prior to arriving at Operation Nightwatch
