Every step brings a child closer to a forever family. 

Join Kidsave's annual Hike With Your Heart in the DMV on November 7, 2026 at Capitol Hill at Second Street and C Street SE, and help create lifelong connections for older kids in foster care. Whether you lead a team and hike with friends, family, coworkers, or hike on your own, every dollar you raise helps more young people find caring adults and permanent families.

Join us for a scenic hike through our Nation’s Capital, featuring iconic landmarks, great photo opportunities, and good company!

ABOUT HIKE WITH YOUR HEART

Since 2015, Hike With Your Heart has brought communities together to support older kids in foster care. What began as a local Los Angeles event has grown into Kidsave's signature outdoor fundraiser, now held in cities across the country.

Every hike raises awareness and critical funds to help older kids find lasting connections with caring adults and permanent families—because every child deserves the love and support of family.
