Community Hope is New Jersey’s largest non-profit providing housing and support services to
military members, homeless veterans, veteran families and adults with mental illness.

Our Veterans Flag Day 5K and 1mile walk is one of our largest fundraisers of the year and all
proceeds go directly to the veterans in our Hope for Veterans Program. When you run, walk or
support, you help rescue over 1,200 Veterans and families from homelessness & despair.
The fee to participate is $45 for each runner and $35 for each walker, $45 for virtual 5k.  Participants
who participate virtually can track their results using the Strava app.  Results, including time and
distance will then be uploaded to Community Hope.
