Mission to Hope Walk
Mission to Hope Walk supporting The Murphy Center for Hope
Saturday, October 8, 2022, 10 am
During the event, we walk shoulder to shoulder—unhoused and housed—from
our community’s overnight shelters to the Murphy Center, a one-stop hub of
services for people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity. The walk
covers just under 2 miles and traverses the same path that hundreds of people experiencing homelessness walk each day.
We begin at the Samaritan House/Catholic Charities located at 460 Linden Center
Drive (across from New Belgium Brewing), then proceed south to the Fort Collins
Rescue Mission at 216 Jefferson Street, then head west and up College Ave to the
Murphy Center, 242 Conifer Street for an Open House. Walkers are then
welcomed to tour the center, learn more about efforts to combat homelessness
and housing insecurity, and enjoy refreshments and good conversation.
The Walk is a family (and dog-friendly!) event where people across all housing
circumstances can join together as one community. Whether you are securely
housed, experiencing housing insecurity, or unhoused, please join us! Bring the
whole family and help inspire the next generation of community leaders!
Putnam Elementary Eco-Week
Once again, the Outside Our Walls committee is raising funds for Putnam Elementary fifth graders to attend Eco-Week at Pingree Park. The children will get to camp for 3 days/2 nights. They will take day hikes, learn about the impact of fire on the area and have CSU programs about the ecosystem. This is a wonderful opportunity for children, especially those who have never had the opportunity to camp in our beautiful mountains. Funds will be used for camping gear, hiking shoes and other activity supplies.
Thank you for your continued support and generosity.
