For nearly 40 years, the David’s House Walk Ride Run has brought people together to make a lasting difference. What started as a simple walk has grown into a meaningful way for our community to come alongside adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and help provide a lifelong place to call home.

This August, we invite you to get active and be part of something bigger.

Walk, ride, run, or choose an activity you love. However you participate, you are helping create a community where individuals are known, supported, and able to truly thrive. Funds raised support essential needs like compassionate staffing, meaningful activities, community outings, and the care and upkeep that make each house a welcoming home.

Together, we are extending God’s love through a community of care that brings peace of mind to families and lasting impact to those we serve.
