A Look Back - A Walk in Their Shoes 2025

More Than Shelter—It’s a Pathway to Purpose

Star Gospel Mission

Since 1904, Star Gospel Mission has faithfully extended a hand up—through the love of Christ—to individuals facing economic, emotional, spiritual, and physical hardship.
We provide transitional housing for men, women, and children experiencing homelessness and walk alongside them as they rebuild their lives. We believe that no one’s lowest moment defines their story. Through the love of Christ, counseling, job training, and supportive services, we empower our guests to thrive as interdependent members of the Charleston community. We also respond to urgent needs by offering emergency assistance to individuals and families in crisis.

Our 3rd Annual event, A Walk In Their Shoes, has three important goals:

  • Raise awareness about the Mission’s vital work throughout Charleston.

  • Educate participants about the real challenges faced by individuals experiencing homelessness and addiction.

  • Raise critical funds to directly support the men (women & children by the end of summer) living at the Mission as they pursue stability, hope, and lasting transformation.

The Details of A Walk In Their Shoes

Join us Sunday, May 24th for our 3rd Annual A Walk In Their Shoes!

This year’s team-based event offers three unique walking experiences—each designed to deepen your understanding of homelessness in Charleston. Form a team with friends, family, coworkers, church members, or your F3 A.O. Everyone can choose the route that fits their ability and personal challenge.

Each walk includes prayer stops, powerful testimonies, and insight from those on the frontlines, including partner agencies and Charleston police.

Choose Your Experience:

  • Sunrise Experience (1.5 miles) – Checkin begins at 6:00 am and the walk will start at 6:30 a.m. Family-friendly with prayer stops and ends with chapel and continental breakfast at 8:00 a.m.

  • Holy City Experience (5 miles) – Checkin begins at 5:00 a.m and the walk will start at 5:30 a.m. Full peninsula walk with chapel and continental breakfast at 8:00 a.m.

  • Sleepless Nights (15 miles) – Checkin begins at 11:00 p.m. Saturday . Adults only. Includes prayer stops, reflection time, and concludes with chapel and continental breakfast at 8:00 a.m.

Teams will raise funds to support Star Gospel Mission (flat donations—not per-mile pledges). Prizes and bragging rights will be awarded by team size. You can fundraise even if you're not walking.
