Back on My Feet

About

Back on My Feet, a national organization operating nationwide, combats homelessness through the power of running, community support and essential employment and housing resources. Back on My Feet seeks to revolutionize the way society approaches homelessness. Their unique model demonstrates that if you first restore confidence, strength and self-esteem, individuals are better equipped to tackle the road ahead.

For all in need, they aim to provide: practical training and employment resources for achieving independence; an environment that promotes accountability; and a community that offers compassion and hope. For all with the capacity to serve ? volunteers, donors, community and corporate partners ? they seek to engage in the profound experience of empowering individuals to achieve what once seemed impossible through the seemingly simple act of putting one foot in front of the other.

How we support them

How We Serve Together

Our volunteers work as a team to lead morning runs in various neighborhoods in NYC.

Why We Love Them

We love Back on My Feet because they empower walkers/runners to join with other walkers/runners to accomplish something they never thought they could.

How We Partner Together

The enthusiasm of our early-rising volunteer runners, walkers, or joggers is contagious as they encourage discipline and healthy habits in people who are going through life transition and transformation.
