About the Event

Lace up for something bigger than the finish line; help provide a critical lifeline to families experiencing a housing crisis.

Join Home for Families (HFF) for our inaugural 5K on the morning of Sunday, May 10 (Mother’s Day), at Wolfe Park in Columbus, and go the distance for moms and families facing severe housing instability. We are also offering a 1K walk, which will start at the same time as the 5k. With nearly 90% of families led by strong, single moms under 34, your support will help HFF go the distance to prevent homelessness for these young moms and their families.

Run for mom. Run for family. Run for change.

As one of the largest non-shelter housing providers for low-income families in Columbus, Home for Families works behind the scenes with a network of landlords, government agencies, and community partners to provide safe, secure, and affordable housing solutions to over 1,200 families experiencing housing crises each year. We are a family’s exit plan from shelter and actively partner with them to resolve ongoing barriers to housing and provide long-term solutions for stability.
