It’s a simple act with deep meaning, showing support, strengthening bonds, and creating space for conversation, understanding, and care within our community.
Whether you are a veteran, a first responder, or someone who simply wants to show support, all are welcome to join the walk. Friends, families, and neighbors are encouraged to participate. After the walk, stay awhile to visit local vendors, connect with others, and enjoy time together as a community.

We would like to have at least two volunteers on duty at all times. I have arranged sign up in 2 hour blocks to accommodate your schedules. Feel free to take as many shifts as you feel comfortable doing.

We’re once again using SignUp (the leading online SignUp and reminder tool) to organize our upcoming SignUps.
