 Clinton County Trails Coalition is happy to include a guest writer, Karla Barker, Executive Director of Wilmington Hope House, to promote their upcoming 5K on our beautiful trails. By Karla Barker, Executive Director, Wilmington Hope House On Sunday, June 22nd, Wilmington Hope House is hosting “Run for Hope”, a 5K run/walk on our Clinton County Trails. The start and finish line will be at the Clinton Memorial Hospital lower parking lot near the connection path to the trail. The entire route will be on the Luther Warren Peace Path and part of the Ogden Trail with a water break at the halfway/turn around point. RACE DETAILS
ABOUT HOPE HOUSE Hope House is a low barrier, emergency drop-in shelter for women and their children. We provide safe, judgement free, environment for 10 women and children at a time for up to 30 days. We operate from a low barrier perspective, which means we do not require background checks, identification, proof county residency, or sobriety to be given a bed. We welcome all women as they are, into a community of other women experiencing similar challenges. While meeting them with grace, respect, community, and honesty, as we help them find ways to move into a sustainable, self-reliant, and purposeful life in our community.  WHY DO WE DO WHAT WE DO?
We welcome women and children just as Christ offers Love, Hope, and Compassion to women and children in need. We strive to encourage and help the restoration of human dignity, self-respect, and well-being of those we assist. To be able to fulfill this mission, we rely on private donors, local churches, organizations, and fundraisers. Our goal with the 2025 Run for Hope 5K is to raise $5,000. REGISTER FOR THE 5K All participants receive a commemorative 5K t-shirt if they register by June 8th. To learn more about the Run for Hope 5K and about our organization, please visit our website.
