Poor People United in the Anti-Poverty Walkathon


Saturday, September 16th 9am-2pm Walk begins at School Without Walls

Poor People United is an organization formed by homeless and formerly homeless individuals to raise consciousness of other homeless people and the community at large to the issues of homelessness and poverty. Other organizations serving the poor will also participate in the walk-a-thon, one of their few opportunites to secure funding for projects that provide food, emergency shelter, clothing and counseling in the city of Rochester.



Walk or pledge support to a PPU walker (email Claire Olson at colsen@frontiernet.net ) or make a tax deductible contribution at the secure Metro Justice paypal page (indicate PPU in the "payment for" line)..
