National Runaway Prevention Month brings awareness to the experiences of youth who have run away or have experienced homelessness. Huckleberry House joins NRPM to shine a light on youth homelessness in central Ohio. 

  • City Hall, AEP, Franklin County, and our own Crisis Shelter will light up green in November. You can too – purchase a green bulb and light your front entryway green in support of youth who have runaway or are homeless in our community.
  • WEAR GREEN on November 15th, and show your support for NRPM and Huckleberry House on your social media channels, #shinealight, #huckleberryhouse, #NRPM
  • Share the National Runaway Safeline with young people facing challenges, 1-800-RUNAWAY

 

Light Up the House will take place Sunday, December 3 from 6:30 – 8pm. REGISTER HERE and join us as we welcome the holiday season on our Hamlet Street campus in Weiland Park.
