From the organizers
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!
