Alexandria — More than 400 people descended on Cameron Run Park Sept. 29 for the second annual Acacia Federal Rock and Stroll walk to end homelessness.
“We had a great turn out,” said Community Lodgings Assistant Executive Director Jim Dempsey. “We can't thank our sponsors and participants enough for all they did today to help so many in our community.”
Five local organizations participated in the event, including ALIVE!, the Arlington-Alexandria Coalition for the Homeless, Community Lodgings, New Hope Housing and Wesley Housing.
