What is HomeWalk?
HomeWalk is part of United Way of Greater Los Angeles’ year-round campaign to end homelessness called Pathway Home. Our goal in 2008 is to recruit an estimated 7,000 people and over 250 volunteers to help raise approximately $750,000 through a 5K sponsored walk to prevent and end homelessness in Los Angeles County. In addition to a walk, HomeWalk is also an educational journey, helping participants learn more about the crisis of homelessness and what we can do to solve it.
When is HomeWalk?
Saturday, November 15, 2008
Exposition Park
700 Exposition Park Drive
Los Angeles, CA 90037
Is there a registration fee?
No! The event is free of charge but we encourage all participants to fundraise.
How will the funds be used?
All money raised from HomeWalk is distributed back into the community to help quickly rehouse homeless families and provide permanent housing with supportive services (e.g. job training, substance abuse treatment) to the chronically homeless.
Last year, HomeWalk raised $500,000, helping over 2,300 homeless individuals off the streets and into permanent housing over the next twelve months.
