The annual Chippewa County Walk for Warmth will be Saturday, February 11, from 9 a.m. to noon, starting and finishing at the Sewell- Avery Center in downtown Sault Ste. Marie, featuring a one-mile route up and down Ashmun Street.

The walk raises funds to assist needy citizens in Chippewa County when home-heating bills cannot be met.

Most funds are raised through pledges by walkers, and forms are available at the Community Action Agency offices in the Sewell-Avery Center and at the United Way Offices downtown.

Prizes will be awarded after the walk, and a chili and hot chocolate meal is provided to all participants. General donations from local organizations are always accepted.
