Intro
2019 marks the 20th Anniversary of the Walk for Sojourner Truth House, and because of this milestone, this year's Walk for STH will be a Color Walk!  Proceeds support the mission of Sojourner Truth House to provide hope and help for homeless and at-risk women and their children and underserved citizens of Gary and Northwest Indiana. Sojourner Truth House, a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit organization, is a ministry of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ.

Why Walk? Why Donate?
When homeless women come to Sojourner Truth House (STH), most are ashamed of their circumstances. They wonder how the basics of life have escaped them, as they try to cope with their situation. Often, they have their children with them and they wonder how they can make life normal for their family again.  STH co-workers and volunteers greet them with a welcoming smile and a promise to always treat them with honor and respect. We understand that they have real barriers and work with them to find the path back to independence and wholeness. With personalized case management and individualized goal setting, we are able to determine the needs of clients and provide them with the tools to begin the process of overcoming homelessness and rebuilding their lives.  We are able to do these things with generous support from people like you.

Sign up to walk or participate virtually!

Invite friends, family and neighbors to join you in making a difference in your community! Forming a team is fun and makes it easier to raise funds!  Set a goal and create your own personal fundraising page! Every individual walker raising $100 or more will receive an official 2018 Walk for STH T-shirt!

Please Note: There is no fee to register, but each walker is asked to raise at least $100.  Ask family, friends, co-workers and businesses to support you!
