The event is a community fundraiser held at Vollmer Road Grove Forest Preserve, 4162 Vollmer Rd., Flossmoor, IL 60422. It includes an in-person community 5K and a virtual 5K. Organizers describe the event as intended for families and community members, including businesses and local leaders.

The event raises funds and collects resources to support local families experiencing hidden homelessness. Donations and funds are used for hotel assistance, fresh food and produce, personal care essentials, household items, and laundry support.

These activities are presented as a way to provide dignity, stability, and hope to families who are often overlooked.
