Join the 7th Annual Interfaith Action Walk for Warmth!

Be part of the family-friendly Walk for Warmth on Monday, January 19, 2026 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. You may select the Walk option that is best for you: 1) the 2-mile walk past faith communities that host the Overnight Shelter, or 2) the around-the-block walk. Or, if you wish, you may attend the program and remain in the church during the Walk. 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.
