WAIM Walk for Warmth
WAIM's annual Walk for Warmth brings our community together to raise funds for our neighbors 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.
Due to COVID-19 safety precautions, we regret that we will not be able to walk together this year, but we can each do our part to raise much needed funds by walking alone or with family or friends, and continuing to raise funds for WAIM. The need is greater than ever this year, and we need you more than ever.
100% of funds raised will go directly to help our neighbors when they are most in need.
Windham Area Interfaith Ministry
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!
