Steppingstone, Inc.
held its eleventh annual 5K Walk for the Homeless on August 17, 2013, to
raise funds for the First Step Inn at 177 North Main Street
to enable it to continue to provide
emergency shelter for the area's homeless population. This year's event drew
dozens of participants and raised over $56,800.
"There are forty-eight sponsors that have come to the table this year," noted Steppingstone
Executive Director Kathleen Clark. "We have some new sponsors. We have Chris Herren of The Herren Project...and Bristol County Savings Bank who is with us today.." The annual event raises funds to provide counseling, proper
nutrition, bedding and other services to help the homeless stay clean, sober and
safely sheltered. Click here for a fifteen-minute |
