Join the 6th Annual Interfaith Action Walk for Warmth!
Be part of the family-friendly Walk for Warmth on Monday, January 20, 2025 in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.'s Day of Service. Help Interfaith Action raise awareness of homelessness in our community and raise funds to support Interfaith Action programs including the overnight shelter. You may donate and register on this page. Advance registration is required. We will gather at 11 AM for a brief program in the in Sanctuary at First United Methodist Church at 516 Church St. The Walk starts after the program. COLD WEATHER PLAN. If the current weather forecast of single digit temperatures holds, for the health and safety of our Walk for Warmth supporters, we will walk as one group around the block as we did in 2024. Though we can't safely walk the 2-mile route in this weather, your participation, along with over 350 of your neighbors, is still very important in raising awareness of the need for shelter for our unhoused neighbors, particularly in life-threatening winter weather. Those who do not wish to walk, may remain in the church, in good company, after the program. The event concludes by 1 PM. We are grateful for the faith communities that host the overnight shelter and for the support of a caring community. Thanks.
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?'” -- Martin Luther King Jr.
