Walk a Mile in Their Shoes is an annual walk to raise awareness about the work Heartly House does in the community and the clients we serve. Walk a Mile originally began to raise awareness about domestic violence against women, but over the years we have expanded the purpose of our Frederick walk to recognize power-based violence against all people.

The event will be held on Saturday, October 21st at the Bandshell in Baker Park. We will gather at 10:00AM for survivor speakers, a chance to meet and learn about community partners. Then we will walk together through Baker Park to make some noise, raise awareness, and demonstrate support for survivors. This event is for everyone, so strollers and dogs on leashes are welcome!

Thanks to our generous sponsors, registration is FREE for all participants!  We want EVERYONE to register to walk with us, so bring your friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, and favorite barista … you get the idea! 

If you are looking for additional ways to support Heartly House’s work to END power-based violence and until it ends, provide shelter safety and supportive services to all survivors, please consider starting an individual fundraiser or a fundraising team. More on that once you register! 

When YOU join with Heartly House, our sponsors, and community partners, together WE make a bigger impact on our community than any one of us could do on our own.
