Back on My Feet is a national nonprofit that supports individuals experiencing homelessness, poverty, or addiction by building community, stability, and encouragement through early‑morning walk/run groups. Volunteers walk or run alongside residents three mornings per week, offering connection, motivation, and accountability as they work toward employment and housing goals. Come once to try it out or join regularly; every step makes a difference.
This is a simple, meaningful way to make an impact — no running experience required. Volunteers can join at any of our three Indianapolis locations (Fountain Square, Mass Ave, or Mapleton‑Fall Creek).
If you’d like to learn more or get involved, contact Emily Garvin at 463‑280‑1182 or emily.garvin@backonmyfeet.org.
