We count ourselves lucky to have an organization like **[CAMBA](https://www.camba.org/?ref=bklyner.com)** in the community, which is why we have partnered with them this year for the **[CAMBA Healthy Way 5k](http://camba.org/Support/HealthyWay5k/tabid/571/menuheader/101/submenuheader/101/Default.aspx?ref=bklyner.com)** fundraiser. We hope you will join us in supporting them, and we’d like to tell you a bit more about the outstanding work CAMBA is doing right here in our own neighborhood at the **[Park Slope Women’s Shelter](http://www.camba.org/Programs/HousingServicesDevelopment/EmergencyandTransitionalHousing/ParkSlopeWomensShelter/tabid/188/Default.aspx?ref=bklyner.com)**.

Run by CAMBA since 1996, the Park Slope Women’s Shelter, located in the Armory, **[recently expanded](http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20131202/park-slope/park-slope-womens-shelter-expands-as-citys-homelessness-crisis-grows?ref=bklyner.com)** their services to provide beds for 100 women suffering with mental illness and chemical addiction. More than just a safe place to rest their heads, though, the center offers residents an opportunity to stabilize their condition and move toward permanent and/or supported housing with medical and psychiatric care, therapeutic recreational activities like **[organic gardening](http://camba.org/MayJune2012Connection/tabid/534/Default.aspx?ref=bklyner.com#garden)**, and **[empowerment events](http://camba.org/March2013Connection/tabid/579/Default.aspx?ref=bklyner.com#women)** that help give residents the confidence they need to succeed in the outside world.

And we can’t forget the shelter’s festive **[tree lighting celebration](/blog/events/holiday-spirit-music-more-at-camba-tree-lighting-tuesday)**, which brings residents, staff, and neighbors together to **[say thank you](http://camba.org/December2013Connection/tabid/618/Default.aspx?ref=bklyner.com#tree)** for all of the community’s support.

If you’d like to support CAMBA’s Park Slope Women’s Shelter, one fun way to do it is by signing up for the **[CAMBA Healthy Way 5k](http://camba.org/Support/HealthyWay5k/tabid/571/menuheader/101/submenuheader/101/Default.aspx?ref=bklyner.com)**, scheduled for Sunday, May 4\. You can **[register to participate here](https://5k2014.abilafundraisingonline.com/registration?ref=bklyner.com)** — but even if you are unable to attend the event, there are [**several other ways** ](/blog/events/participate-in-support-cambas-may-4-healthy-way-5k)to help make it a success. Whichever way you choose, taking part in the Healthy Way 5k means you get to take some credit for helping others, and there’s no greater feeling than that.
