On Saturday, November 5, 2022, Family Promise of Morris County is hosting our second annual Steve Hammond Homebound Hustle 5K & 1 Mile Walk to end homelessness and housing insecurity in our community! Join us for our 5K or 1-Mile Walk in-person at Central Park of Morris County or choose our Virtual 5K Race option and participate from home. REGISTER HERE.

From his role as Public Works Director and County Engineer, to his time serving on Family Promise's Board of Trustees, Stephen W. Hammond was always a champion of equity and equality for the Morris County community. The Steve Hammond Homebound Hustle 5K & 1 Mile Walk honors Steve's legacy and serves as a reminder of his leadership and positive impact within our community.
