This year to keep our community safe, our annual Walk-a-thon will occur virtually from a location of your choice. Walk your neighborhood, a local hiking trail, in your backyard—the options are endless! All funds raised support homelessness services provided by Family Promise of Central Connecticut.
While our 2020 “Harvest for Homelessness” walk event will be unlike our previous Walk-a-thons, each dollar raised will have the same impact!

Decorate Your Walker’s Bib
Each registered walker will be emailed a “print-at-home” Walker’s Bib to wear during your #2020HarvestWalk. Print out the bib and decorate it as you please!
Kids will love this activity! You can use stickers, paints, and glitter to customize your bib. Take pictures of your decorated bib and upload them to social media. If you don’t have any social media accounts, please email the pictures to admin@fpcct.org so we can feature your bedazzled bib during our virtual Closing Ceremony!
