We Need Your Help to End Homelessness!
Join Our 2020 Virtual Walk to End Homelessness!
Dear Walkers, Fundraisers and Donors,
We were so sorry to cancel our physical, Walk to End Homelessness in March. Finally, we are able to offer you an opportunity to turn in or make donations to Housing Resources Inc. in person on June 25th from 4- 7 pm at the Kalamazoo Growlers. With your donation of $35 or more, you may pick up your super cool Walk t-shirt and promotional bag. We will be using all safety protocols and you will be able to drive up, donate and pick up t-shirts with ease.
Our Kalamazoo residents experiencing homelessness need your support now more than ever!
