Bay Ridge’s homeless population is growing — and so is the neighborhood’s response.
More than 100 runners hit the pavement to support homeless veterans in the Willie McCabe Memorial 5k Run and Walk in Owl’s Head Park on Nov. 13 — double the number of participants at the inaugural event last year. The pack raced through the park in honor of founder Liam McCabe’s late father — a homeless Vietnam veteran — and raised more than $1,000 to help military vets get back on their feet, an outpouring of support that was truly heart-warming, said McCabe.
