Through our 29 Community Walks, we reached 2,500 walkers, the number needed to receive the $25,000 walker bonus from Fannie Mae! We will raise approximately $100,000 total from these Community Walks for our vital services for the homeless this year. Thank you to MCCH clients and the following local schools, congregations, community groups, and businesses who joined with us to help raise awareness on homelessness: Burning Tree Elementary Click here to view photos from our Silver Spring Help the Homeless Community Walk.

About Help the Homeless ProgramThe Help the Homeless Program raised $6.2 million in 2011 for the 97 Help the Homeless nonprofit beneficiary organizations. These beneficiaries work hard to prevent and end homelessness in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area -- reaching more than 180,000 clients and offering more than 6,200 housing units.

More than 10 years ago, MCCH reached out to Fannie Mae to find a way to involve more youth in their annual Help the Homeless program. We knew that many more young people and their families wanted to support the homeless than those that took part in the Walkathon on the National Mall. Fannie Mae took our idea to heart and started the Help the Homeless Mini-Walk, (now referred to as Community Walk) program at schools and congregations. These local walks have engaged thousands of people each year to raise awareness about homelessness and funds for our programs.
