Bethany House and the Laredo Homeless Coalition have been coordinating and participating in the March Against Hunger and Homelessness since 1991. An average of 250 people join the Bethany House staff at its downtown location for an eight block walk. After the march, the participants eat a humbling meal of rice and beans.
Groups that join the march include members of the homeless and former homeless community, parents from public housing resident councils, food bank representatives, legal aid representative, program volunteers, staff and advocates from varied non-profit agencies. The march is held in November each year.
