Welcome to the NIAC Teams page! This page features the dedicated teams who have chosen to spend a night in their cars to raise awareness of the hidden crisis of rural homelessness in our community. Every dollar donated will directly support the Mercer County Emergency Housing Fund, empowering the Mercer County Housing Initiative to provide vital assistance to local families and individuals facing housing insecurity and homelessness.
Ready to make a difference? Sponsor one of these incredible teams today! Simply scroll to find each team’s secure online donation portal. We accept all major credit cards, PayPal, & Apple Pay.
Your generosity will provide a lifeline to those in need. Thank you for joining the fight against rural homelessness!
