Welcome to my fundraising page for the WAIM Walk for Warmth!
WAIM has been helping people stay warm and safe for twenty-five years and I am very excited to help them help my neighbors.
Anything you can give to support this effort will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
WAIM Walk for Warmth
WAIM's annual Walk for Warmth brings our community together to raise funds for those in our community who are struggling financially and cannot afford to pay for heat or electricity. Each year, WAIM helps over 200 families who might be left out in the cold were it not for the support of their friends and neighbors.
100% of funds raised will go directly to help our neighbors when they are most in need.
Walk for Warmth is an annual charity event sponsored by the Windham Area Interfaith Ministry to raise funds for the Energy and Housing Assistance Programs. This year will mark our 30th Anniversary of raising funds from our community to help meet our neighbors' needs when they are struggling.
Many low-income families are spending more than 10% of their household income to heat their home in addition to rent and other utilities. On top of that, heating costs are predicted to increase up to 30% this year as we are facing difficult economic times, rents are skyrocketing and many families are still catching up from loss of income during COVID. Your gift will help us keep our neighbors safely housed and warm.
Last year, over 200 families were helped. We anticipate that the need will be even greater this year.
Thank you very much for your support!
