About Walk the Talk
During the National Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week, Walk the Talk will be walking into your neighborhood. For ten days these walkers will walk around Oahu not only to raise funds but to bring awareness to the issue of homelessness. Come and talk story and share how you can help.
For over fifteen years Hawaii Helping the Hungry Have Hope (H-5) has focused its mission to provide services for the homeless community. The Walk the Talk awareness event began in 2005 as a way to raise funds for a first-of-its-kind mobile bus shelter. Since then, the Walk has grown to provide funding for the EVANS bus shelter, Next Step emergency shelter, Kalaeloa Shuttle and the weekly food outreach serving over 3000 meals a month.
