2022 Hike for Safe Haven
The Hike for Safe Haven benefits Safe Haven Family Shelter, the premier shelter-to-housing program in Middle Tennessee that works alongside families experiencing homelessness. Safe Haven’s mission is to lead the community’s efforts to house, support, empower and advocate for families experiencing homelessness. Join us as we hike to give families a place to call home.
Safe Haven Family Shelter is gearing up for the 18th annual Hike for Safe Haven, a Nashville favorite for its heavy dose of outdoor fun for friends and family, on Saturday, November 12, at Percy Warner Park (Bob Brown Field Station off of Highway 100). This pet- and stroller-friendly event includes hiking on a paved trail, food, live music, children’s activities and more! It takes over 100 volunteers to make this event a success. Sign up to volunteer on your own or with friends, family or colleagues. Opportunities include helping with set up/cleanup, registration, children’s activities, t-shirt distribution, and more.
