Rescue Mission of Utica's 15th Annual Walk-A-Mile In My Shoes

Each step taken represents compassion in action—standing alongside those who are working to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope. Walk a Mile in My Shoes invites individuals, families, teams, and businesses to make a tangible difference, reminding us all that understanding begins when we’re willing to walk beside one another.
