The Winter Walk is an event and initiative that believes ending homelessness is within our reach.

Our mission is to raise funds and awareness towards that goal, and to support organizations in Greater Boston that are working on prevention, support, and care for our homeless community.

The 3rd annual Winter Walk will be held on Sunday, February 10th, 2019.

This 2 mile walk through the streets of Boston during the coldest month of the year will begin and end on Copley Plaza.

Participants, housed and unhoused, will walk shoulder to shoulder and then share a meal together as we hear real stories of Boston’s homeless population.

Our homeless community are sons, husbands, mothers, brothers, wives, fathers, and friends.

They could be you.

Each of these individuals has a unique story – homelessness is a state of being, not an identity.

All of these individuals are our neighbors in need, and we can help.

This event is family friendly, open to all ages, and it is dog friendly too!

The Winter Walk encourages all who walk to donate or fundraise a suggested registration fee.

But we never want that to be a barrier to participating and learning more.

If you are not able to raise funds, we still want you to join us.

Reach out to [email protected] to learn more about how to participate.
