The 2026 Hike To Mt. Kilimanjaro.

February 13th - 19th, 2026

With the goal of raising $100K, the City Relief team looks to climb the highest mountain in Africa in solidarity with their unhoused friends and City Relief guests that are facing their own hurdles, barriers, and mountains on a daily basis.

Thus, this climb and its proceeds will go to City Relief, providing food, clothing, and individualized care plans helping the homeless of NYC and New Jersey find housing.
