Walk Day Announcement

Shoutout to Grassa Gramma

A huge thank you to Grassa Gramma for hosting a fantastic event for the Louisville Out of the Darkness Walk! Your efforts raised an amazing $625, making a real difference in our community.

We also want to highlight our initiative of collecting fun gloves and socks to donate to the Hope Bus in honor of our loved ones. Your contributions will bring warmth and comfort to those in need.

Get ready to enjoy some live music! We’re excited to announce that this year, the talented band Rags & Riches will be performing at the walk.

Together, let’s continue to support each other and bring light to the darkness! 💖
