The Winter Walk is a new initiative raising funds and awareness to help end homelessness in Boston. Participants will gather in Copley Square and walk 2 miles together and then gather outside for a community breakfast and presentation from partner organizations and our homeless community. Participants will receive a Winter Walk knit hat at registration and a community breakfast at the conclusion of the event.

A portion of your registration fee is tax deductible. Although it is not a requirement for participation, organizers encourage each participant to raise additional funds for their partner organizations. Every contribution counts and makes an impact.

You can sign up for individual registration or start a team (you can start the team now and invite more people to join later!). You can also find answers to many questions on the FAQ page here.

Can’t walk with us on February 12th? Please consider signing-up to volunteer or donate.

If you want to walk but are not able to provide the registration fee, please email abarbanell@bhchp.org to discuss options.
