Why Walk?

Joining the 5K for Lazarus House Ministries Hike for Hope Fall Festival is about making a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need. By walking and fundraising, you are actively contributing to the mission of Lazarus House Ministries, which is dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty and homelessness in our community.

By participating in this event YOU are providing vital support to an organization that works tirelessly to provide food, shelter, clothing, advocacy, and community resources to individuals and families living with the day to day challenges of poverty and homelessness. Your involvement helps fund programs that offer essential services such as life skills, family enrichment, and transitional housing, empowering people to rebuild their lives and regain their independence.

Also, joining the Hike for Hope Fall Festival is an opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges of homelessness and poverty. By coming together as a community to walk and fundraise, we send a powerful message of solidarity and compassion. It’s a reminder that we all have a role to play in creating a more equitable society where everyone has access to the resources they need to thrive.

By taking part in this event, you are not only helping to improve the lives of others but also are enriching your own sense of purpose and connection to the community.
