Marian House is a holistic, healing community for women and their children who are in need of housing and support services. We provide a safe, sober, and loving environment that challenges women to respect and love themselves, confront emotional and socioeconomic issues, and transition to stable and independent lives. The Marian House Race to Embrace Independence 5K Run and Walk is our only annual fundraiser. We depend on the funds raised through this race to aid us in providing vital funds for housing, food, clothing, education, life skills, employability training, counseling services, and other necessary support services for homeless women and their families.
StandUp For Kids mission is to end the cycle of youth homelessness throughout the United States. StandUp For Kids carries out this mission every day through our national volunteers and staff, who go to the streets in order to find, stabilize and otherwise help homeless and street kids improve their lives by providing and connecting them with an array of life-saving services to help them on their journey to self-sufficient adulthood.
