About the event

27th Annual 5K Run/Walk for Shelter 

It's race time again and this year the Shelter for Help in Emergency is giving our 5K family two options to participate in our 5K:  Join us in-person on race day, Saturday November 4th,  for our annual 5K Run/Walk for Shelter or run the 5K Race virtually during the month of October. Results for both races will be posted separately on the Shelter's website and social media pages on November 4, 2023. 

To allow flexibility, you can register for the in-person event on November 4th, but then switch to virtual at a later time if you choose.  If you decide to switch, virtual runners must complete and submit their 5K results by October 31.  You can also switch your virtual 5K registration to the in-person event on November 4th.  If you decide this option, any virtual results you have sent in will be discarded.

WHO WE ARE

Since 1979, the Shelter for Help in Emergency has worked to support and empower victims of domestic/intimate partner violence through a combination of trauma-informed residential and community-based outreach services, including a 24-hour hotline, emergency shelter, safety planning, information and referral, resource assistance, legal advocacy and court accompaniment, supportive counseling, outreach to the Spanish-speaking community, and programs for children and youth.

The Shelter for Help in Emergency provides strong, well-established programs and services that respond to the needs of our whole community. While some clients need the benefit of services within our safe, confidential residential facility, others are able to access the services they need at our Community Outreach Center or in other community-based sites. Over the years we have worked to become a resource to the whole community – a place where people can get information about domestic violence and learn ways in which they can get involved.
