McDowell Mountain Regional Park at the Pemberton Trailhead

The Hike for the Homeless is St. Joseph the Worker’s annual community fundraising event and you’re invited to hike with us! It’s held at the beautiful McDowell Mountain Regional Park in Fountain Hills and the funds raised directly support our mission to help individuals experiencing poverty, homelessness, or who are in crisis, to find quality employment and regain stability in their lives.

This year, we’re celebrating the 35th anniversary of St. Joseph the Worker as an organization and the 25th anniversary of the Hike and inviting at all levels to join in a very special morning on Saturday, March 4th.

$50/ adult includes a t-shirt & breakfast burrito
