In early 2026, hundreds will join together for the 2nd Annual Winter Walk Philadelphia—a powerful morning of solidarity, community, and action in the fight to end homelessness.
Housed and unhoused people - individuals, families, children, advocates, outreach workers, and change-makers - will gather together, walking shoulder to shoulder as a community focused on ending homelessness in Philadelphia, and everywhere.
Winter Walk is more than just a walk—it's a visible commitment to compassion and a call to action. As homelessness continues to rise across Pennsylvania and beyond, your participation is more critical than ever. Walk with us. Help us raise funds for Tia's Place, a service provider administering aid to the unhoused people that live in Philadelphia, every single day of the year. Invite your coworkers, friends, and loved ones. Bring your friends, your family, your walking shoes, your warmest layers, and your biggest heart. Together, we can build a future where everyone has a place to call home. Register now and be a part of something meaningful!
Our exact route and meeting location will be updated soon!

If you choose to start a team, you can create your own group of friends, family, co-workers and beyond!

What should I wear to the Winter Walk?
Please wear weather appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes for walking. The Winter Walk takes place rain, snow, or shine (unless it's a state of emergency, but we're hopeful that won't happen).

Yes, please feel free to bring strollers if it helps with walking with little ones!
Can I bring my dog?
We love dogs! If they are good in crowds and cold, and can walk within our route safely with others, including small children, then we’d love to have them join us! We even offer a special registration add-on for dogs!
