November 2024 – StandUp and Move! 2024 – Walk & Chalk
StandUp and Move! Walk & Chalk 2024 is our organization’s 5th annual National StandUp and Move! for Kids event to end the cycle of youth homelessness during National Homeless Youth Awareness Month. This issue affects thousands of young people across the U.S., and now more than ever, they need our support. This year we’re introducing Walk & Chalk, a national initiative where individuals, families, businesses, and communities unite to raise awareness in a creative and powerful way—sharing expressive chalk messages that inspire change and hope.
Here in Kitsap County, we have several events planned during the month of November as part of this campaign, with more local events being added soon:
