Joining us at Garcia Park any Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday. Here we meet with participants to walk/run from 7:30am-8:30am. This is an opportunity to walk/jog/run with participants, often just being a listening ear. One Saturday a month we aim to provide a healthy breakfast to the group after the park training, meeting on the Haven for Hope Campus from 8:45am-9:30am.
The goal is to partner with a participant, working to create a positive human to human social connection. This can be a one time volunteer opportunity or recurring.
This opportunity supports S2F participants by building trust, encourages their physical movement, boosts mood, promotes healthy habits, creates a safe space for conversation, can aid as a positive distraction, and helps build consistency and routine.
We have walkers and runners of all paces, so truly anyone is welcome to join!

Mission Statement
We exist to promote equitable health opportunities for individuals experiencing homelessness with a holistic approach to wellness in spirit, mind, and body.
Description
Street2Feet provides a holistic wellness program to individuals experiencing homelessness, many of whom are also currently in treatment for substance use disorder. We meet 6 days a week, 3 for walking/running and 3 for yoga/meditation/bodyweight movement, etc.
Our vision is to remove the barriers to exercise and health by introducing walking and running as an accessible/sustainable habit that builds community and empowers participants to develop a healthy life, regardless of income, zip code, or socioeconomic status.
We believe that movement, community, & service work as medicine.
We frequent community events to participate both as community members and as volunteers to be of service. Volunteer opportunities for community members include walking/running with participants, joining us for community events, donations organization, and various administration needs.
