Let's Keep the Hope Coming!
The Walk may be over, but the Children still need your support!
You can donate in honor of your favorite team or participant until the end of the month to help us raise our campaign goal. Monthly giving options are also available so that you can choose to Give Children Hope all year round.
Thank you to all of the teams and individuals that joined us for the Hope For Children Walk. We hope that you will enjoy our photo album! Please feel free to share it on your social media and encourage friends and families to support this very worthy cause!
Why Walk?
More than half of the individuals served by Home of the Sparrow are children. Children experiencing homelessness, instability, and uncertainty right here in our community.
The Hope for Children Walk is more than just a walk. It’s a one-mile journey (four laps) around our headquarters, with each lap representing a critical part of that journey: Hope, Opportunity, Support, and Impact.
With every step, you’ll experience the path families take—from the moment hope begins, to gaining access to opportunity, to the support that surrounds them, and ultimately, the stability and brighter future your support makes possible.
When you walk, you’re not just raising funds—you’re helping children and families move from crisis to stability.
Together, we can change the story—one step, one lap, one family at a time.
