From the Organizer
At Joseph's House, we aim to holistically and individually engage people experiencing homelessness in gaining stability and control of their lives. We do this by welcoming each person who comes to us, doing a comprehensive intake that touches on systemic challenges leading to homelessness, and then connecting them to necessary services to achieve stability, health and independence.
Come join us for our 7th Annual 5k walk/run – it's a fun, family-friendly event with games and lots more. The first 100 people will get a cool t-shirt!
All proceeds from our Annual 5K Walk/Run to End Homelessness go directly toward the essential services and programs Joseph’s House offers our community’s most vulnerable. This includes meeting basic needs like shelter, meals, showers/laundry with compassion as well as day program activity like connection to medical care, mental health and addiction counseling and social services to help our guests navigate a path out of homelessness.
