The St. Francis Outreach Program makes grants to non-profit organizations that serve the most vulnerable and disadvantaged members of the Stamford Community. All proceeds from the 4th Annual Road Race benefit this year’s race partner, Inspirica, through the St. Francis Outreach Program. Last year’s race had over 100 participants and raised over $10,000.

Inspirica’s mission is to break the cycle of homelessness by helping people achieve—and maintain—permanent housing and stability in their lives. Over the past five years Inspirica has made 905 job placements that allowed them to move 801 men, women and children from homelessness to independent, dignified lives in the community. Hvu hjh貍
