Route 66: Breaking the Cycle of Homelessness
Sept. 4 – Oct. 11
Seeking to raise $66,000 for operations at Open House Ministries, staffer Mark Roskam and his brother, Mike, will cycle historic Route 66 starting in September. From Chicago to California, traveling more than 2,400 miles, the cycling enthusiasts are hoping for by-the-mile pledges to help motivate them along their way. (Lump-sum gifts are also welcome, of course.)
Read more about the Roskams’ goal to raise money and awareness for how Open House walks alongside homeless families in Clark County Today and The Columbian. KGW also covered Route 66 on Sept. 4.
