Organiser's description

Amid the winter's chill in Ottawa County, a heartwarming tradition comes to life - the "Walk for Warmth" fundraiser. This local walk traversing two miles through beautiful, downtown Holland unites participants in a collective effort to provide warmth, comfort, and hope to those facing the harsh realities of winter. The annual event raises money to keep the heat on for qualifying families in Ottawa County who have received a utility shut-off notice for gas, electric, water, or deliverable fuels like propane and fuel oil. One hundred percent of the funds raised assist Ottawa County residents. The fiduciary of the Walk for Warmth funds, Ottawa County Community Action Agency https://miottawa.org/Community/CAA/Walk_for_Warmth, distributes the funds to financially-qualifying residents in need.

Join us for a night of fun at the Carnival that will include walking, Puerto Rican food (for purchase), Silent Auction, Face painting, Carnival games, a photo booth, warm hearts, and more! To help us prepare for the event, please register each participant who is over the age of 5.
