Enjoy the full program with access to all main activities. Take the Challenge

From October 3 through October 24, Loaves & Fishes Ministry of Middle Georgia invites you to walk, run, or cycle 40 miles over 21 days while raising funds to support our neighbors experiencing homelessness.

Whether you complete a few miles each day or several miles each weekend, every step you take helps provide hope, dignity, and practical assistance for those who need it most.

As you journey through the challenge, you’ll receive inspiring emails featuring stories, reflections, and insights about homelessness in Middle Georgia—reminding you why every mile matters.

Why 40 Miles?

Forty miles represents the many miles our clients collectively walk just trying to meet their most basic needs. Every mile you complete is a reminder that no one should have to spend their days searching for food, safety, or shelter.

By asking friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers to sponsor your journey, you’ll help Loaves & Fishes continue providing:

·      Nutritious meals

·      Emergency groceries

·      Hot showers and laundry facilities

·      Birth certificates and state IDs

·      Case management and employment assistance

·      Compassion, encouragement, and hope

Together, we can replace miles of hardship with pathways toward self-reliance.

One mile may seem small.

But one mile can provide a meal.

One mile can help someone obtain an ID needed for employment.
