HOUSING WITH LOVE WALK INFORMATION

BACKGROUND
For the past thirteen summers, Bob Murray has walked the entire length of Cape Cod, through all 15 towns, to raise money for a variety of housing programs. His annual 108-mile, seven-day Housing With Love Walk raises money to help families from becoming homeless, to prevent homes being foreclosed on, to help homeless families access housing, to help the disabled find decent, safe and affordable housing. Ten housing agencies participate in this Walk and assist families throughout Cape Cod.

Again this year, a special Walk will be held on Wednesday, July 12th to raise money for the Harwich Ecumenical Council for the Homeless (HECH). We hope to have a large group of walkers who have raised money to support the programs of HECH. The Harwich Walk will begin at 11:00 A.M. on the 12th at the Municipal Parking Lot in Harwichport. We'll walk down Bank Street to Rt. 39 to the First Congregational Church where we'll break for lunch. After lunch, the Walk will resume down Great Western Road to Lothrop Avenue, and back to Rt. 28. Walkers raising $100 or more will receive a free Walk tee shirt. Because this effort is to raise money for the Harwich Ecumenical Council for the Homeless, it involves a lot of walkers, and we don't have sufficient staff to collect pledges, we have been forced to adopt the following basic requirements for anyone walking.

BASIC REQUIREMENTS

1. To be eligible to walk, walkers must raise or donate a sum of money. Walk tee shirts are available for $10.00. Raise $50 you can purchase a tee shirt for $5. Raise $100 and get one free.
2. Each walker will be required to collect his/her own pledges and it is recommended that be done prior to the Walk.
3. The Walk route is about 4.4 miles and drinks will be provided along the route. Lunch will be provided at First Church.

OTHER INFORMATION

1. The Harwich portion of the Walk will start at 11:00 A.M. at the Municipal Parking Lot in Harwichport. Rain or Shine
