Compeer Mile 2026 — Rochester Walks Together to End Loneliness

For fifty years, Compeer Rochester has been doing something simple and transformative: matching volunteers with neighbors who are facing loneliness because of mental health challenges. On November 1, they invite all of Rochester to walk with them — and each other. The 2026 Compeer Mile is a walk to end loneliness, and this year it matters more than ever: more than 200 people are on Compeer's waiting list, waiting for a friend.

Date: Sunday, November 1, 2026 Time: 11:00 AM – 2:30 PM Location: Compeer Rochester, 259 Monroe Avenue, Rochester, NY 14607 Cost: Free

Register at compeerrochester.org — and consider signing up as a volunteer while you're there. Four hours a month is all it takes to be someone's friend.
