SAVE THE DATE for WINTER WALK!
Join us on Sunday afternoon, March 14, 2010 for Winter Walk!
Winter Walk is a 5-mile inter-faith walk that supports HomeStart’s efforts to end homelessness in Greater Boston. Every day, more than 7,000 people in Boston are homeless, walking the wintered streets and searching for a place to call home. We invite you to do the legwork with us to help end their search.
TWO GREAT WALKS, TWO GREAT LOCATIONS:
Holliston/Sherborn: starting at the Unitarian Universalist Area Church - 11 Washington St. Sherborn and ending at St. Mary's Church - 8 Church St. Holliston
Newton: starting at the United Parish of Aburndale - 64 Hancock St. Auburndale and ending at the Lutheran Church of the Newtons - 1310 Centre St. Newton
