Join us on February 7, 2025, as we walk at FSU, shoulder to shoulder as a community focused on ending homelessness in Tallahassee, and everywhere.
The 2-mile walk will begin at 9 am at the Bellamy building on FSU campus, with a short presentation to follow. For those who are unable to participate in the walk, we invite them to stay on the plaza to meet our partners and learn about their work, listen to music from our DJ, enjoy coffee or hot chocolate, and spend time talking with others who are joining the mission to end homelessness!
About The Kearney Center: The Kearney Center is a 24-hour comprehensive emergency service center that serves as a point of entry into assistance by coordinating services and responding to immediate needs of individuals until appropriate permanent housing can be arranged. We opened in April 2015 as a one-stop-shop for individuals experiencing homelessness or economic hardship in the North Florida region. The Kearney Center provides overnight shelter and daytime services that connect clients with social service providers, case management, and housing-focused programs. The most basic needs (such as a warm shower, hot meal, and clean clothes) are provided alongside information and referrals to a variety of social service agencies in our community.
The Kearney Center provides space for state/federal/local governmental agencies, non-profits, and faith-based organizations to co-locate and provide wrap-around services to clients. It is our policy to help any individual regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, religious orientation, or income level. By having an open-door approach, any individual who seeks services at our agency is assessed and connected to resources.
