Help prevent homelessness in Lexington. Join us for a two-mile walk in the cold in downtown Lexington to raise money to prevent local families from being evicted or having their utilities shut off. Every dollar raised will be used to provide emergency financial assistance to people in crisis.
Everyone who participates will receive a free t-shirt, and prizes will be awarded to the individuals and teams that raise the most money. For more information or to register online, go to www.walkforwarmth.org.
