4th Annual Long Walk to Freedom October 9, 2010

Boaz & Ruth and many "Solution Providers" are pleased to invite you to participate in the fourth annual Long Walk to Freedom. The walk raises awareness and funds for the many programs supporting effective reentry in Richmond.

The walk begins at the Richmond City Jail (Oliver Hill Way) on Saturday, October 9th and ends at Freedom House's Conrad Center across the street from the Jail. Local and state correctional and law enforcement officials and several formerly incarcerated men and women will frame the theme—release from jail or prison is only the beginning of a person’s walk to freedom. True freedom comes as a person reconnects with himself, with friends and family, and with society. Buildings along the walk will represent the various barriers to and solutions for the ex-offender - housing, jobs, etc.
