Sarah’s Circle would like to invite you for our 33rd annual Winter Walk: A Mile in Her Shoes on March 9th, 2025 from 1-3 PM at Uplift Community High School! For over three decades, this event has highlighted the harsh reality of women’s homelessness during the deadly cold of Chicago’s winters. This event is a one-mile journey through Uptown “in the shoes” of a woman experiencing homelessness. Participants hear the real-life experiences of our clients and learn about how Sarah’s Circle ends homelessness for women.
In the weeks leading up to the event, we have a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign to raise our goal of $200,000, in which supporters can create fundraising pages and teams and engage their friends, families, and coworkers to donate. Every dollar raised will be used to support more women who are homeless this winter.
“March is Women’s History Month, and Winter Walk falls the day after International Women’s Day this year. This event is the perfect opportunity for neighbors, companies, and other supporters to get involved and make a difference for women in need,” says Development Manager Jojo Palmer.
Here’s how you can support Winter Walk: A Mile in Her Shoes this year:
- Create a Fundraising Page and Walk with Us: Rally your friends, family, or coworkers to make a difference! Form a team, raise funds, and join us to walk “a mile in her shoes” with other Sarah’s Circle supporters.
- Donate: Make a donation to help us reach our fundraising goal of $200,000 to provide critical services for women who are homeless this winter.
- Help Spread the Word: Share our mission and promote Winter Walk on social media, at work, or with friends to help us reach more supporters and make this event a success.
