23rd ANNUAL GRIP HARMONY WALK
presented by Chevron Richmond
Please join us for our 23rd Annual Harmony Walk to End Hunger on Saturday, October 10, 2009 at two locations this year -- Civic Center Plaza in Richmond and a NEW location -- Heather Farms Park in Walnut Creek (301 No. San Carlos Dr.)!
For one day and 3.5 miles, you have the opportunity to dramatically impact the lives of over 14,000 homeless individuals and families in Contra Costa County. By participating in the Harmony Walk, you'll join GRIP in our efforts to provide the programs and vital supportive services that help them sustain faith and hope in their lives and become self-sufficient! Our goal is to raise over $200,000 this year so take the first step and register to make a difference!
Refreshments, rally and walk registration will begin at 8am. The walk will start at 9am with a rousing 10 minutes of warm-up exercises and an official start led by a Grand Marshall.
In an effort to make the walk bigger, better and the furdraising process easier, we've added some new features to this year's event so you don't want to miss out!
If you are interested in being a part of the Planning Committee in Richmond or Walnut Creek, Volunteering, Walking or Sponsorship Opportunities, or you would like more information, please call Andrea Bailey, Fund Development Director at (510) 233-2141, ext. 304 or send and email to abailey@gripcommunity.org.
STAY TUNED FOR THE NEW AND EXCITING ONLINE REGISTRATION PROCESS, COMING SOON!

| Help GRIP: Volunteer With Us |
Volunteers are the core of GRIP and our homeless programs. Not only do volunteers help at lunchtime, but also, every night, our families need dinner prepared and served. |
| |
Additionally, your work, hobbies and favorite activities may just be the enrichment or education support that helps our resident parents and children stay on track to self sufficiency. Tutors, storytellers, artists, creative writers, nutritionists, exercise gurus, naturalists, and others may provide practical information and living tools, exposure to new and interesting opportunities, and inspire you, as well as our families! |
| |
Additionally, we always can use food and other donations - visit our Wish List or contact us for more information or to arrange volunteering or donation delivery: 510-233-2141 x303. |
