What Is In Their Shoes?
In Their Shoes is a meaningful, family-friendly two-mile walk that brings our mission to life in a powerful and experiential way. Guided by COAC staff, participants walk through real-world touchpoints our guests navigate as they work toward stability—including a visit to the nearby Department of Driver Services, where many guests begin their journey by securing a state ID or driver’s license.
Together, we step into the realities our guests face and see firsthand how advocacy, essential services, and community support open doors to hope and opportunity.
Thank you for being part of the Central Outreach and Advocacy Center community. We can’t wait to walk with you this April—and we hope you’ll take advantage of Early Bird savings before January 31!
With gratitude,
The Central OAC Team
