MBK Walks in the Inaugural Winter Walk in Western Mass
Team MBK – Consisting of Mia M. Ian C. Kris H. Keara M walked in person at the in the inaugural Winter Walk in Western MA. Team MBK even had a few remote teammates – Chelsea R & her dog, Donna R & Joanne H. join in on the event by walking in their hometowns that morning.
The Winter Walk is 2 mile walk through the streets of Springfield during the coldest month of the year to raise awareness and funds to end homelessness within our community. It was supported by local organizations that work on preventing, supporting and caring of our homeless community everyday including Mental Health Association (MHA), Center for Human Development (CHD), Clinical & Support Options/ Friends of the Homeless (CSO), Providence Ministries, Springfield Health Services for the Homeless, and Western Massachusetts Network to End Homelessness.
The walk set off at 9:30am at Court Square in Springfield after we listened to speeches from event leaders and a short video. The walk was completed by 11am when we returned to the Square with music from co-pilots to march us in.
The winter walk will continue to fundraise until the end of February so if you would like to support their six partners there is still time! 100% of funds raised by participants goes directly back to them and their work with our homeless community!
