Lockport CARES Coldest Night Walk
Come join us for our winterrific family friendly walk-a-thon to raise money and awareness for the homeless and Lockport CARES. We have a 2.5 & 5 kilometer (1.5 & 3.1 miles) route from Christ Community Church - 140 Genesee St (just up the road from the Shelter), down and around Main Street and back up to the Church. We'd like to encourage you to register (www.cnoy.com/location/lockport) and ask your friends and family to sponsor you to walk. The event starts at 4:00pm and after a brief chat and safety talk we send you out to experience what it might be like to be on the street as a homeless person. You and your friends walk the route and return to the church for a hot bowl of chili or soup and hot coffee/chocolate to warm back up and share your experience with others.
