Join us November 16th – 20th for Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week!
Campaign for the Homeless
The Center for Opportunity shelters up to 140 men, women, and children each night. We partner with local agencies to help residents with mental health and addiction services, IDs, employment, housing, and assist with other needs.

Walk a Mile in My Shoes
Join us Wednesday, November 18th, from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Center for Opportunity
1140 S 12th St.
Bismarck, N.D. 58501
We invite the community and shelter residents to walk a mile. The walk begins and ends at the Center for Opportunity.
At the end of the walk, we invite you to enjoy a free meal, learn about the Center for Opportunity, and talk with shelter clients. This is to demonstrate what homeless residents do twice every day just to eat. Together, we brave the cold, wind, ice, and snow.
This is a unique opportunity for community members to connect with our homeless population and understand what they may be going through. It is a true way to show that the community cares about the struggles and hardships on the streets.
If you are interested in the walk, RSVP at the link below by November 18th.
