Sleepout Continued from Page 1 the Lincoln/Lancaster Homeless Coalition, said the cold didn’t deter participants from coming. “It’s not much colder than last year,” Carpenter said. About 500 people registered at the gate, he said, and 150 were still there at 2 a.m. He said the numbers dwindled during the night because of the cold. Carpenter said although he had hoped to get 1,000 people to partic ipate in the event, he was pleased with the turnout. Last year600 area residents participated and 200 slept out. Carpenter said $27,000 was raised during the event. Late dona tions will increase that number during the next few weeks, he said. “Twenty-seven thousand dollars will go a long ways to help home less people,” Carpenter said. “I re ally think the event is a wonderful example of a cross-cultural event to address the problem of homelessness.” Carpenter said a nearby protest of the event also did not affect it. While all people are free to express their views, he said, he thinks the protest was misdirected. “I think everyone should be free on how they give, and others should not judge on how they give,” Car penter said. Mike Lyman, a volunteer at the Peoples City Mission, said he was pleased with the money raised and the community support for Gerik Parmele/DN Michelle Millikin, 24, receives a sandwich from the Salvation Army during the Great Plains Winter SleepOut Friday night. SleepOut. But he said the commu nity still had more to do. Lyman said some sleepers came to the event for the wrong reasons, but more came for the right ones. “I’m sure there are people here to make themselves look good or have fun, but there are a lot that do care,” Lyman said.

Hird said his group appreciated SleepOut’s intentions, but criticized its method. The money and awareness SleepOut raised would help the home less, he said, but the method made fun of them. In addition, the fund-raiser did not provide participants with an accurate experience of homelessness, he said. But Hird said more than the fund raising method needed to change. Hird said he also wanted to see changes in the way the money raised by the event was handled. The money should be put in a bank account where transactions could be documented, he said. A board, con sisting of Hird, homeless activists and homeless people, should be created to oversee the transactions. That way, Hird said, the Lincoln residents would know their money was well spent. Hird said he had proposed his idea to SleepOut organizers but they had not responded. Hird said his group was protesting these problems. “When you live on the street, you don’t get catered food and a Port-a Potty,” Hird said. r ir«fi & isr st.
