The Rescue Mission team is excited to invite you to our first ever walk-a-thon to support the Mission.
Join us to take part in a fun, healthy day for the whole family. Highlights will include live entertainment, tasty treats, and activities for kids, as well as an interactive activity designed to teach participants about the experience of Pierce County’s homeless population.
The walk-a-thon borrows the name of Vennie Murphy, a retired Boeing IAM – 751 Machinist, who has volunteered at the Mission since the ‘90s. In 2012, Vennie was honored as a Rescue Mission Volunteer of the Year. Vennie’s continued dedication to serving in the Good Neighbor Café has contributed to warm meals, and warm hearts, for two decades.
The Walk-A-Thon will raise financial support for The Rescue Mission’s ongoing work of providing food, shelter, and other vital services to Pierce County’s homeless population, while celebrating our dedicated volunteers, like Vennie Murphy.
