Save Our Homes Walk 2008 - Most successful year yet!
Our 5th Annual Save Our Homes Walk this Sunday, April 27th, at the Somerville High School went off with a bang with a huge group of walkers and supporters all turned out to have a great time and combat homelessness in our city! Walking even turned to dancing here and there as we enjoyed the musical stylings of the incredible Second Line Social Aid and Pleasure Society Brass Band! This year's Walk had more walkers than ever, and raised a record high of over $38,600 to assist Somerville residents who are at risk of homelessness. The need is always greater than the resources available to address the issue of homelessness, and we are incredibly proud of our community for your support in helping us to meet that need! We're excited about what this money has allowed us to accomplish and about the prospect of touching many more lives with it this year through allowing families to stay in their homes or move into new permanent housing.
The Save Our Homes Walk is an annual effort to prevent homelessness in Somerville. Last year, we raised over $28,000.00 and helped keep 47 families housed. To get more information on the Walk or to find out how you can help, click here.
