A HIKE TO FIGHT HOMELESSNESS
CEO Josiah Haken, Senior Director of Development Dan Sadlier, and City Relief board members take the first annual trip to climb Kilimanjaro this February 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. Our team knows that no one chooses homelessness. 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.
The fundraiser is achieved by climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, a dormant volcano located in Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania.
