March to End Homelessness

The Lord’s Place recognizes that all people deserve respect and a place to call home.

The inaugural March to End Homelessness is part of The Lord’s Place’s effort to spread community and national awareness and raise much needed funds to provide the resources, programs, and services needed to break the cycle of homelessness.

By marching through West Palm Beach, The Lord’s Place wants to raise awareness of the estimated 3,000 men, women, and children without a home on any given night in Palm Beach County.

In the United States, many Americans are forced to choose between basic necessities like purchasing food, paying rent, or going to the doctor.  650,000 Americans are homeless on a typical night.

Since 1979, The Lord’s Place has been finding solutions and providing services to take more people off the streets and into homes.

The Lord’s Place  inaugural March to End Homelessness will be held on Friday, February 28, 2025. March along the predetermined 5K route in West Palm Beach or unite with individuals, corporations, business and community leaders, schools, and groups at the downtown destination where all will gather to honor the agency’s clients.
