Walk For Warmth 11/23/2014

The Windham Area Interfaith Ministry hosted Walk for Warmth, marathon to raise poverty awareness. The Center of Community Engagement volunteered to help set up the walk by placing posters around the town of Willimantic about poverty facts. After the mass at St. Josephs, and the walk, The CCE set up a children's activities table with coloring books and making turkey masks. Victoria Nimirowski , the director of WAIM, said that the Walk for Warmth raised $42,000, which she said it was the biggest year in 23 years of the walk.

"We are very grateful to Eastern, and to the Center for Community Engagement for all the help and support they provide for this event.  The students are wonderful to work with, and are always so willing to do whatever is needed". Victoria Nimirowski, Director of Windham Area Interfaith Ministry
