Flashlight is a new, fun, socially conscious, music festival to benefit the homeless in the Baltimore area. Flashlight offers attendees an opportunity to spend a summer night enjoying music, food and fun while supporting the more than 3,500 individuals and families who struggle with the terrifying feeling of not knowing where they will sleep, what they will eat, and if they will be safe every day, and night.

Because every night there are 3,500 children, men, and women right here in Baltimore who struggle with homelessness. We think it’s time to do something about it, to help move people beyond homelessness.

Get the facts:

Families are one of the fastest growing segments of the homeless population

33% of all homeless people are youth under the age of 24

25% of homeless persons ARE employed

The leading causes of homelessness are acts of nature, poverty, mental illness and domestic violence
