21st Annual HIKE for the Homeless - Tuesday, August 20, 2024
The 21st Annual Hike for the Homeless benefits Family Promise of the Chippewa Valley Inc, which owns and operates the Beacon House Shelter in Eau Claire. We provide homeless families with temporary shelter and work with them find permanent homes and become financially independent. In 2023 we provided shelter and other services to 37 families with 78 children in our community. Our annual event helps provide us with the financial resources to provide these services.
~ We envision a day when every child has a place to call home and an opportunity for a brighter future ~

The Hike is stroller, wheelchair, and pet friendly. "Day of" registration & refreshments start at 5:00 pm, HIKE starts at 6:00 pm, followed by gift basket prize drawings.
