COTS Walk 2019

Save to Favorites

The annual COTS Walk is a 3-mile trek around downtown Burlington, starting from Battery Park and follows the route a person experiencing homelessness might travel to receive shelter and services. This is the one day of the year that we open our shelters to the community so people can see how their pledges are put to use.

Registration opens at 1p.m. and at 2 p.m., participants are led by the drummers of Sambatucada down the Church Street Marketplace along Main Street and into surrounding neighborhoods. Along the way, walkers are invited inside of COTS’ numerous buildings.

The walk takes about an hour and concludes back at Battery Park where walkers are met with music and refreshments

We need help with:

• Crossing Guards: 25 volunteers during the Walk (1:15 p.m.)
• Clean-up: 5 volunteers for clean-up (3:00 p.m.)
