Proceeds from the 2023 Race will benefit Charlotte Family Housing

64ef98d504765.pngCharlotte Family Housing is a shelter-to-housing program for working families experiencing homelessness. Their mission is to empower working families experiencing homelessness achieve life-long self-sufficiency through shelter, housing, supportive services, and advocacy.


Charlotte Family Housing will specifically use these funds to redesign, refurbish, restructure, and restock their MAP (Motivated Achievement Points) “Store.” The store has household necessities that families require when moving from the shelter into supportive housing. Points are earned to shop by meeting program benchmarks, milestones and goals.

Thank you for your support of the Strides for Shelter 5K. Since the inception of the Strides for Shelter 5K in 2016, the Canopy Housing Foundation has returned more than $130,000 from the race proceeds to several worthy local beneficiaries who are all working to address the needs of the homeless.
