Join Family Promise of Essex County and Walk for Change!
On the weekend of October 16th & 17th, we ask you, with groups of friends and family to JOIN US and walk together to raise funds and awareness for families experiencing homelessness. This is a hybrid event and small groups will form on proposed trails (see below). You pick which day and which trail works best for you!
When you register to walk, you will receive a FPE Walk for Change t-shirt, reusable canvas bag, and a free class at BRWL Boxing and Yoga Studio in Orange, NJ! Children under 12 do not need to register. They can wear a blue shirt of your choice to participate. During your walk post photos using the hashtag #FPEWalk4Change
This event features several family friendly activities to bring our community together in support! Visit our Walk for Change activities center here.
