Walkers Enjoyed a Beautiful Day
Supporting a Beautiful Cause!
This year's Walk For Life was an event to remember! Over 200 walkers were able to join us to support young women experiencing unplanned pregnancies in our community. We couldn't have asked for a better Mother's Day weekend, from the weather to the fantastic morning of fellowship!

We're thrilled to share that contributors, volunteers, and walkers joined together to raise $56,500 to help bring life-change to young women and their babies at Ruth Harbor Ministries! That means we're only $6,000 away from our 2022 Walk For Life goal. If you know of anyone who is considering a contribution, please let them know there's still time to give!

On Saturday, walkers took pictures, enjoyed a snack, and came together for a 1-mile stroll through our Des Moines home's neighborhood. Thanks to special guest Jen Green from Life 107.1 for helping to launch the Walk and providing encouragement and thanks to all in attendance!
Several visitors also used the event as an opportunity to tour our Ruth Harbor Des Moines home, where our staff and board members served as guides for walkers who wished to learn more about the ministry. Thank you for your interest in how these young women and their children are impacted each day through this ministry!

Every walker and every walk team was important and made an impact. However, these walkers made a significant difference with funds raised and have been thanked with tickets to the Blank Park Zoo, Iowa Cubs, movie theaters, and more:
