This Walk is one of the clearest and most visible ways we can stand together and say that homelessness is something the whole community must respond to.\n\n\nThe Walk takes place at Parade Plaza in downtown New London. Check-in begins at 12:00 pm and the Walk kicks off at 1:00 pm.\n\n\nWhen you register\, form a team\, raise funds\, or make a donation\, you are helping support the Homeless Hospitality Center’s work providing emergency shelter\, housing assistance\, outreach\, and other critical services for people experiencing homelessness in southeastern Connecticut.\n\n\nRegister now to help build momentum.
