WPCNR HOMELESS FOR A NIGHT. Special to WPCNR From Maria Regina High School, from Pagani Communications. January 14, 2024:

Maria Regina High School’s annual Box City initiative was held in the school’s courtyard Friday evening, January 10. More than 40 students slept in boxes in below freezing temperatures to support the region’s unsheltered homeless including children.
During the 12 hours of solidarity with the homeless, the students participated in hourly prayers for the highly at-risk population who have been especially challenged during one of the coldest winters. In addition, Rudyard Whyte, board president of Midnight Run based in Dobbs Ferry, addressed the students and gave them an overview about the region’s homeless population.

The students raised funds that will be used for future breakfast runs and to make a donation to Midnight Run. In the 21 prior BOX City campaigns that the renowned all-girls Catholic high school held, a total of about $50,000 was raised to help the homeless in Westchester communities and New York City.
