Registration is now open for Macomb Community Action’s 31st annual Walk for Warmth 2021, a self-paced 5k event that supports low-income Macomb County residents in need during the winter months.
All funds raised during the event will be used to assist individuals with heat-related emergencies like paying a utility bill or replacing a broken furnace.
Due to COVID-19 precautions, the event will be held individually per resident at a location of their choice from Sunday, Feb. 21 to Saturday, Feb. 27.
“Every year, Macomb County residents join together in the Walk for Warmth to help care for their neighbors in need,” said Ernest Cawvey, director of Macomb Community Action. “As the COVID pandemic continues to exacerbate the challenges of our most vulnerable families, our 31st Walk for Warmth is more important than ever.
“The pandemic also reminds us that we cannot address these monumental challenges alone, and the Walk for Warmth symbolizes the broad partnerships that help Macomb Community Action serve our community.”
Since it began, Walk for Warmth has raised nearly $770,000 that has helped local families stay warm in their homes throughout the winter.
In 2020 alone, the event helped support 26 households -- over 50 individuals -- with electric and/or natural gas assistance.
Participants will pledge online to walk or run 5k and are encouraged to take selfies and photos throughout their experience.
