If you’ve never walked a mile in someone’s shoes, now’s your chance to do it for a universally good cause.
The Las Vegas Rescue Mission has announced they’re hosting their 12th annual fundraising event. Walk A Mile In My Shoes is taking place on Saturday, October 7, 2023. The event will begin at 9 a.m. at the Las Vegas Review Journal and end in the same place. The Las Vegas Review Journal is located at 1111 W. Bonanza Rd, Las Vegas, NV 89106.
The entire greater Las Vegas community is invited to come out and walk to raise awareness for homelessness in Southern Nevada. According to the LVRM, Southern Nevada had one of the highest homeless populations in the entire United States last year. With over 16,000 individuals and families experiencing homelessness this year.
The Las Vegas Rescue Mission has been helping those on our streets for 50 years. They provide approximately 30,000 meals each month, as well as emergency shelter to those in need. The organization also hosts a recovery program with addiction counseling and encouragement for the homeless and low-income individuals and families in Las Vegas.
