Hello! Freddy and I are walking in the 2023 Mission to Hope Walk, please read on to learn more and donate here! This will be Freddy’s first experience with Homeward Alliance, an organization I have done projects with for years - I am continually inspired by the resources they provide in our community. If you are in Colorado, I hope you will join us! If not, I hope you will donate to Homeward Alliance through our fundraising page and learn more about the extraordinary work these funds will support. Hosted by Homeward Alliance, the Mission to Hope Walk is an annual walk that seeks to raise awareness and funds to help end homelessness in Northern Colorado. The event serves as a visual display of support to those experiencing homelessness and affirms our community’s commitment to make homelessness rare, short-lived, and non-recurring. The Mission to Hope Walk is a family- and dog- friendly event where people across all housing circumstances can join together as one community. Whether you are securely housed, experiencing housing insecurity, or homelessness, please join us! Together we walk shoulder to shoulder—unhoused and housed—from our community’s overnight shelters to the Murphy Center, a one-stop hub of services for people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity. The walk covers just under 2 miles and traverses the same path that hundreds of people experiencing homelessness walk each day. Walkers are then welcomed to tour the center, learn more about efforts to combat homelessness and housing insecurity, and enjoy refreshments and good conversation. 100% of all proceeds raised benefit the Murphy Center for Hope. Along with our Open House, we will have a Family Village and a Pawprints Adventure Zone at the end of the walk. There will be lots of fun activities for children of all ages, including face painting, pumpkin decorating, a balloon house, and more! Plus some cute activities for you and your fur-babies to enjoy! Thank you for reading this far - please continue to learn about Homeward Alliance, donate at Freddy and my fundraising page, and consider joining the walk or visiting the Murphy Center for Hope!
