The Marilou Allen Office ofService and Community Collaboration

Back on My Feet, a national organization operating in 13 major cities across the US, combats homelessness through the power of running, community support and essential employment and housing resources. Their model demonstrates that if you first restore confidence, strength, and self-esteem, individuals are better equipped to tackle the road ahead. Back on My Feet looks beyond backgrounds and focuses on shared human experiences: the innate desire to feel recognized and supported, the need for goals and a way to accomplish them. No matter our circumstances, Back on My Feet shows that something as seemingly simple as running can strengthen individuals, build communities and transform lives.
