Hand Up for Housing Mission

Walk-A-Thon 2021
Get ready for Walk-A-Thon 2022!
Affordable and safe housing remains an issue for many of our Omaha neighbors. We all can help! Take part in the second annual Hand Up for Housing Walk-A-Thon: walk, support a walker, or donate.
The goal is to raise at least as much as last year for three local nonprofit agencies: inCOMMON, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, and Youth Emergency Services.
100% of the money raised goes to these agencies, which have expertise in building communities and supporting those in need of shelter.
