Walk With Us
Take part in a powerful overnight walk that raises vital funds and awareness. 

🗺️  Meet Up Time + Location 11:00 PM Meet up time! We’ll kick off our Midnight Walk at: Shake Shack Santa Monica (Yes — there may be fries involved... but no promises.) 501 Wilshire Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90401 
 
🚗 Where to Park You can park in the Shake Shack lot or nearby street parking — just check signs and meters.

👟 What to Wear Think comfy and functional — walking shoes, workout clothes, and a light jacket or outer layer for the cool early morning hours. Dress in layers and you’ll thank yourself later!

🎒 What to Bring Pack a small bag with essentials like: Protein bars Dried fruit or trail mix Chocolate (for morale, obviously) Water Coffee or tea in a thermos We’ll provide hygiene kits for outreach, but bring what you need to feel fueled and focused.

🌃 What to Expect This walk is unlike anything else. The city will be quiet — and you’ll see it in a whole new light. Expect meaningful conversations, moments of reflection, and the chance to feel deeply connected to your community.

🛣️ Where It Ends We’ll return right back where we started — at Shake Shack Santa Monica. You’re welcome to walk the full loop or arrange a ride home at one of our check-in points along the way. Some folks may even want to grab breakfast after — we’ll point you toward nearby options!

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Who Can Come? Dogs? Yes! We love dogs. Kids? Also yes — if they can walk the full 18 miles. Please use your best judgment. Strollers and scooters don’t work well on this route.

Can’t Walk?
Give Hope. Consider making a monetary donation to help provide meals, shelter, and recovery programs.

I Want To Walk

I want to support people like Gordon. Being homeless, Gordon can’t cook his own meals — so he comes to The Midnight Mission for a warm plate. His favorite? Chicken and rice.

I Can't Walk, but I Want To Sponsor Meals.

I want to support people like Gilbert. Gilbert comes in often for lunch and dinner, and he says The Midnight Mission has “the best food in town.” He’s grateful we’re here 24/7 — always open, always serving.

I Can’t Walk, But I Want to Support Recovery for Someone Like Stacy

After surviving domestic violence and a painful attempt to reunite with her daughter, Stacy returned to The Midnight Mission in 2021. This time, something was different. With structure, support, and care, she began becoming the person she had always hoped to be.
