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, neighbors, and WAIM.

As we slowly recover from the effects of the pandemic, WAIM is providing the opportunity for our supporters to walk together on November 21. We will meet in Jillson Square and walk a two-mile route around Willimantic.  Those who are still uncomfortable in a crowd or would rather walk alone, or with family or friends at a different time can still do so, and raise funds for the Walk for Warmth.  

Whatever you

100% of funds raised will go directly to help our neighbors when they are most in need.

Walk for Warmth is a charity event sponsored by the Windham Area Interfaith Ministry to raise funds for the Energy Assistance Program. 

Many low-income families are spending more than 10% of their household income to heat their homes, in addition to rent and other utilities.  On top of that, heating costs are predicted to increase up to 30% this year as the economy works to recover from the pandemic.  This may leave many of the families we serve chossing between paying rent, feeding their families or keeping their heat on.

Last year, over 200 families were helped.  Your donation will help us reach our 2021 fundraising goal of $40,000.
