The 8th Annual Winter Walk

Winter Walk raises awareness and financial support for Boston-based organizations working to end homelessness. St. Francis House is honored to join 12 other area nonprofits which have been invited to participate this year. 100% of the proceeds from Winter Walk will be distributed to the partner organizations, including St. Francis House.

The registration fee is $100 per person walking, and you can choose to pay up front or fundraise your fee. There are discounted registrations for youth and students.

Winter Walk is an annual walk, 2 miles around the streets of the city in February, the coldest month of the year. It is our chance to link arms with those who experience homelessness and to listen to their stories. It is our chance to affirm our commitment to do all it takes to ease the struggles of those who are homeless.

Whether you walk or not, please consider joining or supporting the St. Francis House team.

We need your help! The St. Francis House team must raise $10,000 in order to qualify for the Winter Walk match! Any donation is welcome!
