Swag bags. Every walk has them. Every carnival or community gathering where organizations are trying to say Thank you for joining the party has them. The Journey Home is no different…but I think our Swag bags are generously different!
The first 300 walkers will receive a Swag bag with their completed registration form and walker fee. Each bag will include a walk t-shirt, a water bottle and a flyer. The value of these gifts are right around $35 all inclusive. Thank you to all our sponsors that made this Swag gift possible!

When and where are we walking?
Centennial Park Englewood
4630 S Decatur St, Englewood CO, 80113
Saturday, September 15th 9am – 1pm
The event itself will accomplish 3 very important things with your help:
- Raise awareness around the realities of life on the streets. Check out our campsite exhibit and learn what camps are like for people living on the streets. Ask questions about what their real life experience is each day.
- Immediate volunteer connection with organizations making a difference in our community. Visit the Partner booths and learn about these organizations that all work together to address the immediate needs of people living on the streets, and then work along side of these brothers and sisters to encourage them in their Journey Home.
- Raise necessary funding for the 5 beneficiary organizations. A good idea, lived out with passion, is always a wonderful means to addressing challenging situations. The 5 organizations that are benefitting financially from this walk are passionate about working with and on behalf of people experiencing homelessness. Each one is addressing a specific need and provides encouragement and necessary support to people trying to get off the streets.
- Organizations benefitting from the Walk are:
- Severe Weather Shelter Network
- Giving Heart Englewood
- HAAT Force South Metro
- Mean Street Ministry
- Living Well Shower Trailer
- Organizations benefitting from the Walk are:
We do not want to just talk about the problem. We are seeking to address it and clear a path in our community that allows individuals and families experiencing homelessness to make The Journey Home.
It will take the community working together in unison to accomplish this very large task. Join us on Saturday for The Journey Home. Walk, visit, relax in the park and enjoy a meal together. It will be a great time of celebration!
