Walk a Mile Purpose

The purpose of the Walk is to take a step into the struggles facing the homeless and those in desperate situations.  It also serves to extend the purpose of the Muncie Mission, which is to provide compassionate rescue services on an immediate and/or long-term basis to the poor and needy of East Central Indiana.

Harsh conditions: Why walk in February?  It will help walkers raise awareness of the harsh conditions that homeless and desperate people endure daily just to live.  Remember how challenging it was the last time you had to scrape ice from your car windows, how cold the wind was and how nice it was to finally get enough heat going to warm you up!  Imagine being exposed to the elements without having a vehicle to warm you or having to walk to a doctor's office because you're sick.  Hard to imagine...but true for so many people right here in our community. 

Raise funds:  Your involvement in raising funds for the walk is vital as we help build hope...hope for a better tommorow...one step at a time.  Funds are used to address their physical and spiritual needs through food, shelter, Christian counseling and long-term programs.
