Event Information
Sojourner Truth House (STH), a day center for women and children experiencing homelessness and poverty with a community pantry and other related services, will hold its annual fundraising Walk on Saturday, June 12, as both an in-person and a Virtual event. Online registration is open at www.WalkforSTH.org.
Sojourner Truth House invites everyone to join us in taking steps to end homelessness. Walk with us at STH in Gary, at home or in your neighborhood! Raise or donate $100 to receive this year’s Walk for STH T-shirt. More information can be found online, where you can organize or join a team, register as a walker, or donate.
Funds raised through the Walk for Sojourner Truth House will help the not-for-profit ministry provide services such as food, clothing, access to medical care, job skills programs, intense case management, and a commitment to independent living. The goal is to provide clients with the tools to achieve self-sustainability for themselves and their family.
Sojourner Truth House was founded in 1997 and is sponsored by the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ. The ministry served 800 clients in its first year, and today serves an average of 2,100 clients per month, with nearly half of them children. STH operates one of the largest community food pantries in the area for Gary residents, which provides personal hygiene items and includes a clothes closet for women.
The Walk for Sojourner Truth House will be held on Saturday, June 12, and information can be found at www.walkforsth.org or by contacting Chris Dow at 219-947-8665 or cdow@ancilla.org.
