In 2007, Jimmy Walker founded a program for the homeless at St. Vincent de Paul church in Phoenix called Never Give Up. The outreach is held every Monday morning and attracts approximately 300-400 homeless men and women.
The purpose of the meetings is to provide weekly encouragement to numerous homeless people in attendance. Some of the speakers at the meetings have included Reggie Jackson, Jerry Colangelo, Dwayne Wade, Larry Fitzgerald, Meadowlark Lemon, Alvin Gentry, Anquon Boldin, Harvey Mackay, Nancy, Lieberman, Dr. Robert Spetzler, Tom Chambers, etc.
Each guest speaker shares personal experiences about hard times theyve gone through, struggles theyve had, times when things did not work out right, and how they never gave up.
