The Blue Water Community Action Walk for Warmth is an annual event held to raise funds for the Blue Water Community Action Emergency Utility Assistance.
This walk is a short, but brisk walk just under two miles.
Many of us have no idea what it's like to receive a shut-off notice for our utilities. Come experience the cold to help your community, your neighbor, your friend or family member to keep their utilities turned on during the cold winter months. Funds raised allow us to help those who would otherwise fall through the cracks in getting the necessary help iwth their utility bills.
The 2020 Walk for Warmth will be held on February 29, 2020.
Time: Registration begins at 9:00 am and the walk will begin at 9:30 am
All participants will receive a hot breakfast following the walk.
