MACON, Ga. — Daybreak Macon's Sleepout last month fell during cooler weather, but the money it raised is warming hearts.
Wednesday, Daybreak revealed the official donation total from the last "Sleepout with the Homeless" event.
The nonprofit says it raised $265,477.
Director Sister Theresa Sullivan says she couldn't be more pleased with the support from the community.
"Thank you, Macon community, because it is so exciting to have everybody come and celebrate the great work that everybody did. We had $1 donors, $5 donors, $100 donors, $1,000, $2,500, $5,000 donors," Sullivan said.
The next Sleepout is scheduled for February 2023.
Daybreak, which serves members of Macon's homeless community, hopes for a new record next year.
