About this race
The Thanksgiving Walk of Awareness helps ACCESS Soup Kitchen & Men’s Shelter provide food, supplies, services and shelter throughout the year for those in need and brings awareness to homelessness.
ACCESS is grateful for the support of our community. This is the ministry's LARGEST FUNDRAISER of the YEAR, we thank you, in advance, for your generosity! (Please note registration prior to the day of the event is $30. Registration on the day of the event is $35.)
How can you walk? On Thanksgiving Day, participants can choose one of the following ways:
