Since 1993, Family Promise of Bergen County’s annual Hike for Hope has brought families, congregations, community organizations, school and youth groups, and individuals of all ages together to bring awareness to family homelessness and raise funds for Family Promise's life-changing housing and support programs. Participants compete in online fundraising and complete fun, virtual activities, all leading up to our three-mile walk through the heart of downtown Ridgewood on Sunday, May 5. Afterwards, Hikers will enjoy activities, giveaways, snacks, music, games, contests, and more! Prizes will be awarded in various categories.
By being a part of the 2024 Hike for Hope, you will support Family Promise of Bergen County’s mission to empower working families with children facing homelessness to become permanently self-sufficient and break the cycle of poverty for themselves and future generations. Proceeds from the event will benefit our temporary housing and holistic support services, which include personalized case management, financial education, job training, empowerment workshops, childcare, transportation, meals at our nightly Walk-In Dinner Program, and more.
