💜 Walk for Survivors 💜

Every step we take is a step toward healing, safety, and hope.

At Community Affairs and Resource Center (CARC), we see every day how difficult it is for survivors to rebuild their lives. Access to safe, affordable housing and supportive services is becoming more limited, forcing many survivors to make impossible choices, sometimes even leaving their communities or state behind.

This walkathon is more than just a community event, it’s a chance to stand with survivors and show them they are not alone.

By participating, donating, or sharing our mission, you are helping provide critical services, advocacy, and resources that empower survivors to heal and move forward with dignity.

This year's Walkathon will also recognize three outstanding honorees whose dedication has made a meaningful impact in our community:

Excellence in Community Protection Award – Freehold Borough Police Department
Spirit of Service Award – Stephanie Nicole Parze Foundation
Community Champion Award – Sophia Taylor

Together, we can raise awareness, strengthen our community, and create real change. One step at a time!

💜 Register, donate, or start a team today! 💜
