The NLEC WALK-A-THON is a fundraising event aimed at raising funds to establish a safe house for those experiencing homelessness.

Participants walk six miles along the scenic Katy Trail. This endeavor isn’t just about covering the distance; it’s about creating lasting change for individuals who are displaced and in desperate need of support.

The funds raised through this WALK-A-THON will directly contribute to providing safe havens, healing, work training, and a nurturing spiritual environment. These resources are crucial in breaking the cycle of homelessness and offering hope for a brighter future.

Registration begins at 9:00 a.m.

The walk begins at 9:30 a.m.
