Back On My Feet is a nonprofit organization that promotes the self-sufficiency of homeless populations by engaging them in running as a means to build confidence, strength and self-esteem.
We do not provide food or shelter, but instead provide a community that embraces equality, respect, discipline, teamwork and leadership.
Currently, there are BOMF chapters in Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. In 2011, BOMF will expand to Dallas-Fort Worth, Atlanta, Minneapolis-St. Paul and two more cities. We want Greensboro to be one of those cities!

From
The Salvation Army Family Store in Greensboro (I still call it the thrift store, but I’m not supposed to) used to have a connection with a mattress manufacturer that donated mattresses that had been used as displays in showrooms (like at the furniture market) or ordered by customers and returned (unused.) Although the mattresses had not been slept on, they were not technically “new,” so they were put into a special trailer where they were heated to a sanitizing temperature. (I think I’m explaining that right.) Then the mattresses were sold at the Family Store at a fraction of their original price. One of my relatives bought a king-size, pillow-top mattress set for $200. The retail value was in the thousands. (They love the mattress.)
Like to eat brownies? Me, too. Think it’s cool that “the Watches” do street outreach to help homeless and hungry people? What if there was a way that you could support our outreach by eating brownies? Well, guess what? There is!!
