Our #BoMFBoston crew had an amazing time at The Daily Table's teaching kitchen! Members participated in a hands-on cooking class at this fantastic nonprofit community grocery store. Under the guidance of an incredible instructor, we learned new recipes and discussed the nutritional benefits of our ingredients. With support every step of the way, everyone prepared their own delicious meals. The best part? We got to sit down and enjoy a homemade dinner together! Huge thanks to The Daily Table for hosting us and to our members for their enthusiasm and teamwork. #BackonMyFeet #HealthyEating #CommunityBuilding

About us
Back on My Feet empowers people to achieve economic independence through fitness and community. Operating in 16 cities nationwide, Back on My Feet recruits members at homeless shelters and rehabilitation facilities. Our members begin their journey by committing to run or walk 2-3 days a week and when they are ready, move on to educational support, job training programs, employment partnership referrals, and housing resources. Since 2007, Back on My Feet has served more than 15,000 individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness and engaged more than 150,000 volunteers and supporters. Our members have run a collective 950,000+ miles and obtained more than 15,000 jobs and homes. With your support, the communities we build together around the U.S. serve as lifelong support systems, removing shame and isolation. It’s about the drive, grit, and courage to take that first step toward a new life. And while it may not be an easy road, we’re there every step of the way. Get involved to make moves that matter today.

Our Baltimore community has been shining bright! 🌟 From volunteer Susan's star moment in the GoDaddy Docuseries Made in America (https://lnkd.in/erRUV82S) to our team’s spotlight in the mayor's office video (https://lnkd.in/e2ntHSuA), we’ve got plenty to celebrate! Our city knows how to shine, and Baltimore teams always bring the energy to Sneaks. Last year's warm-up with Will B., co-founder of Team Penn North, was unforgettable. And with DJ5Starr returning to keep the beats pumping, this year promises to be just as epic! Mark your calendar for Friday, August 2, 2024, at Herring Run Park for Sneaks Come Out at Night, our electrifying 5K. Register now: https://lnkd.in/eudV9-B8! #BackonMyFeet #5KM
