Our Community - Walk for Warmth!

http://www.alaskapublic.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/United-Way-Walk-for-Warmth-.png

KNBA keeps you in tuned with Our Community! Tuesdays & Thursdays at 8:50am we hear from community organizations working hard to help us all! Thursday February 12th, Danny Preston spoke with director of Grassroots funding for United Way, Anchorage, Aimee Chauvot. The Walk for Warmth is a community event that raises money to directly fund rent and utility assistance for Anchorage families when they need it most – the coldest months of winter in Alaska. Over 60 households (150+ individuals) received funds for rent and utility assistance thanks to your support of the 2014 Walk for Warmth. The event is February 21, 2015 at 9:00am - 1:00pm at the First United Methodist Church. For more information on how you can get involved, visit: https://www.classy.org/anchorage/events/walk-for-warmth/e38065
