Walk for Warmth
Walk for Warmth is a wintertime outreach that addresses the needs of those in our community who do not have the means to stay warm during the winter. In Cheboygan County, our families, friends, and neighbors are struggling financially more today than at any time in recent memory; many to the point of having to decide between providing food for their families or heat for their homes.
