In the Bag
The mission of Sleep Tight Colorado is simple: Meredith Gershberg raises funds to purchase sleeping bags for the homeless. She launched the organization in honor of an aunt who did similar work with friends in New York City. “But she never formed a formal non-profit, so I took it to the next level for Denver,” Gershberg says. “We went public with Sleep Tight Colorado in January of 2011 and have donated 330 sleeping bags to date.”
