About the Event
For the past 7 years, our ministry has frequented Uptown to service the homeless community. We have found that a lot of organizations who service the homeless do not intermingle or understand the mission of their organizations. We would like to change this and become more effective in helping one another in this area.
Exercise Your Awareness
Join us for a panel discussion with local leaders from homeless initiatives. Learn about each organization and how you can get involved, donate or volunteer. Panelists will include a city council member and someone from CMPD to speak in detail about the new ordinance taking place in Uptown, and how that would adversely affect the homeless community there.
Exercise Your Body
The second half of the event will be a tangible act to get moving! We just don’t want people to listen to the panel discussion but become active in participating in whatever area seems right for you. Fitness instructor Fanny B FIT will lead us in a fun, group fitness workout suitable for all fitness levels!
