Grand Marshal Ramona Holloway introduces the morning's event

Ramona Holloway, of Mix 107.9FM was our Grand Marshal, and Carolina Panther’s Sir Purr paid a visit too!  Here’s a look back at the day and what you missed.

Proceeds from the 2023 Strides for Shelter 5K Run + Walk benefitted Charlotte Family Housing.  Charlotte Family Housing is a shelter-to-housing program for working families experiencing homelessness.  Their mission is to empower working families experiencing homelessness achieve life-long self-sufficiency through shelter, housing, supportive services, and advocacy.

Specifically, the proceeds from this year’s race will redesign, restructure, refurbish, and restock Charlotte Family Housing’s MAP (Motivated Achievement Points) “Store.”  The store has household necessities that families require when moving from the shelter into supportive housing.  Points are earned to shop by meeting program benchmarks, milestones and goals.

Check back soon to find out next year’s October Strides for Shelter date.
