Gennesaret’s Home Run for the Homeless
About this race
Welcome to the 35th Annual Home Run for the Homeless!
Our mission is to provide interim housing, food, training, and support services for those families who are earnestly seeking to improve their lives and living conditions. Our commitment is to do this without government funding or paid staff, but by uniting our community in the true spirit of service. Gennesaret does not promote any religious organization or practices; however, it was founded on Christian principles. Encompassing our mission is our unbending goal to treat those whom we serve with respect to enable them to retain their dignity in difficult and stressful times.
All proceeds go directly to serving those in dire financial straits through our Family Nutritional Center and our family housing apartments. On behalf of those who are challenged in these tough times, we thank you for your support of our endeavors.
Join fellow runners on November 1, 2020 for the Gennesaret’s Home Run for the Homeless. It's a fantastic 5K, 1.6K featuring a flat and fast course in Akron.
