Start a Mini-Walk
The Help the Homeless Program invites schools, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia to host Mini-Walks. Whether it is a walk held with a high school, university, summer camp, nursing home, or Boys and Girls club, Mini-Walks are a great way to increase the awareness of the issues surrounding homelessness while raising funds.
Start a Mini-Walk in your area by completing these steps:
Review Guidelines
Submit Committment Form
- Complete and submit the Mini-Walk Commitment Form to Dailey Events at least two weeks before the planned walk and no later than Friday, October 22. Once submitted, your identified Mini-Walk adult coordinator will be contacted by the Help the Homeless Program to assist in facilitating the Mini-Walk.
Pick-up T-shirts
- If you elect to receive T-shirts for your Mini-Walk, complete and submit the T-Shirt Pre-Order Form to Dailey Events at least 72 hours prior to the selected pick-up date. If you have not already turned in forms and funds to Dailey Events, bring signed registration forms and funds when picking up T-shirts. To be guaranteed a T-shirt, signed registration forms and funds must be turned in by Saturday, November 20 to Dailey Events for the last pick up date on Friday, December 3. No Mini-Walk T-shirts will be made available after this date. T-shirts will not be mailed.
- If you elect not to receive T-shirts for your Mini-Walk, collect walker registration forms and funds (NOTE: Fannie Mae's Help the Homeless Program will not accept checks written by Beneficiary Organizations) and submit to:

Conduct Mini-Walk
- Conduct a Mini-Walk program lasting 45 minutes or longer that includes an education awareness activity/program of at least 30 minutes plus 15 or more minutes of some physical activity (i.e., a walk along a predetermined route or planned activities during a physical education class).
Submit Forms and Funds
- Submit all additional registration forms and funds collected to Dailey Events no more than ten business days after the Mini-Walk. Registration forms received after ten business days will not count toward the Beneficiary’s Walker Registration Incentive totals. Funds received after ten business days of the Mini-Walk will be credited to the Beneficiary as a donation.
