What is the Mission to Hope Walk?
Hosted by Homeward Alliance, the Mission to Hope Walk is an annual walk that seeks to raise awareness and funds to help end homelessness in Northern Colorado. The event serves as a visual display of support to those experiencing homelessness and affirms our community’s commitment to make homelessness rare, short-lived, and non-recurring.

The Mission to Hope Walk is a family (and dog-friendly!) event where people across all housing circumstances can join together as one community. Whether you are securely housed, experiencing housing insecurity, or homelessness, please join us!
Together we walk shoulder to shoulder—unhoused and housed—from our community’s overnight shelters to the Murphy Center, a one-stop hub of services for people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity. The walk covers just under 2 miles and traverses the same path that hundreds of people experiencing homelessness walk each day.
This year the event will be held on Saturday, October 7th, and kick off at 10 am. We begin at the Samaritan House/Catholic Charities located at 460 Linden Center Drive (across from New Belgium Brewing), then proceed south to the Fort Collins Rescue Mission at 216 Jefferson Street, then head west and up College Ave to the Murphy Center, 242 Conifer Street for an Open House. Walkers are then welcomed to tour the center, learn more about efforts to combat homelessness and housing insecurity, and enjoy refreshments and good conversation. 100% of all proceeds raised benefit the Murphy Center for Hope.
Bring the whole family and help inspire the next generation of community leaders! Furry friends (on leashes) are encouraged to attend as well.
Along with our Open House, we will have a Family Village and a Pawprints Adventure Zone at the end of the walk. There will be lots of fun activities for children of all ages, including face painting, pumpkin decorating, a balloon house, and more! Plus some cute activities for you and your fur-babies to enjoy!
