Join us on Saturday, April 25, from 12:30pm to 3:30pm on Barrie School's campus to celebrate the opening of our new trail, and support our homeless neighbor's in a Walkathon.

Aside from the Walkathon, we will have various activities such as face painting, water balloon fights, live music, shirt making, pie in the face, food trucks, refreshments, and more!

Background: 

As part of our 8th Grade Humanities Course, our class began investigating the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We were asked to choose one to focus on and to plan a community event to highlight it. We chose Article 25, the Right to Housing. 

We have chosen to partner with Every Home DC. Funds raised will be put to work right away in support of Everyone Home DC’s front-door Single Adult programs, including outreach to people living outside and our drop-in hospitality center. Our goal is to raise $500, which can support the purchase of water and other essential supplies for neighbors experiencing homelessness during the extreme heat of summer.

How to participate: 

1. Donate directly to Everyone Home DC using this fundraising page! You can also print a sponsorship sheet. 

2. Create your own account and join the team! Please RSVP to help us plan for the event. 

3. Check out the Everyone Home DC's Amazon Wishlist for more ways to support them.
