About this Event
"I dreamed this hike for the Community Kitchen because they gave me back my dreams." - Teddy
Teddy's Hike was created by a former guest of the Community Kitchen to help raise funds and awareness for the organization. Teddy, who was homeless for two and a half years, would often go to the Community Kitchen not just for food, but also to connect with others. Teddy obtained housing in December of 2017, and the first Teddy's Hike took place the following year. The hike is a physical representation of how people walked alongside him on his journey. Teddy's story of connection, belonging, and support is just one of the many stories of the people the Community Kitchen serves.
2024 is the 7th year for Teddy's Hike. This year the event will be held at the Benson Sculpture Garden Gazebo, in Loveland, CO.
We are inviting you, your family, and friends to participate in our celebration of community. This family-friendly event begins at 11:00 AM. Lunch will be provided at the conclusion of the event.
New this year, we'll be hosting a scavenger hunt through the park! Prizes are available for the top teams and include 4 tickets to a Rockies game and a parking pass! Want a head start for your team? If you bring an item from the Kitchen's donation wishlist, your team gets a two minute head start! Want an even bigger advantage? Bring a box of food from the wishlist and you get a five minute head start!
The Community Kitchen's donation wishlist can be found below.
We understand not everyone can join us in person, but would love to have you join in a virtual hike wherever you live and share it with us to show your support. If you're not able to join us in person or virtually, but you would like to hike with us 'in spirit' we welcome that as well! Please choose the option that works best for you and get outside to show your support! If you need assistance, please contact the Community Kitchen at 970-278-1726.
