Walk for Hope - World Mental Health (Battle Creek)

Join us for something new this fall!✨🍂

On Saturday, October 11, at Riverside Park in Battle Creek, Harbor of Hope Ministries is hosting our first-ever Walk for Hope in honor of World Mental Health Day, and this year’s theme is: Access to Services.🙌

Mental health challenges, including Eating Disorders, can have lasting effects if not met with timely support. Everyone deserves affordable, accessible care on their path to healing, and together, we can help make that possible.💚

Bring your family, friends, church group, and even your friendly canine companions as we walk together to build hope, raise awareness, and pave the way toward healing. Together, we can hope to make a world of difference.🌎💫
