SELINSGROVE, SNYDER COUNTY- It has become a Thanksgiving Eve tradition for young people in Selinsgrove.

They're sleeping outside in cardboard boxes to bring awareness to the plight of the homeless. The Wesleyan United Methodist Church Youth Group has been doing this for the last 6 years.

Youth Minister Dale Long says they learn a valuable lesson. The group also raises money for local homeless shelters and soup kitchens.
