A 2 mile walk through the streets of Boston during the coldest month of the year will begin and end on Copley Plaza. Participants, housed and unhoused, will walk and then share a meal together as we hear real stories from Boston’s homeless population. We have large groups of volunteers every year for our event! Volunteer roles include event set up, walker registration check in, route support, why I walk station, handing out breakfast and event tear down.Â

Warm clothes.
Whose Help Is Required
We welcome individuals, families, and groups. Â
Special Requirements
Anyone under 18 will need to be accompanied by an adult guardian or school/program chaperone who has been given permission to oversee youth. Â
How It Makes A Difference
The Winter Walk raises awareness and funds for ten Boston-based nonprofit organizations working to alleviate suffering and address the root causes of homelessness. We raised just under three-quarters of a million dollars from our 2021 Walk. 100% of event proceeds go directly to our partner organizations.
The Walk aims to continue this success in our sixth year and to continue to grow our partnerships and impact. We need your support and hope you will join us.
