Providing safe shelter, food, and support services for homeless families and individuals has been a priority for the Bennington County Coalition for the Homeless (BCCH). This month's Walloomsac River and Downtown walk will feature a visit to the Norton House Family Shelter and a conversation with the organization's Executive Director, Chloe Viner Collins.
The walk will take place on Saturday, May 20 at 10:00 a.m. It will start at the People's Park on Depot Street between Main Street and River Street, and will proceed to Park and Pleasant Street for the meeting with Viner Collins.
Walloomsac Walks take place on the third Saturday of each month at 10:00 a.m. The walks are pet-friendly, and people of all ages are invited to come out and enjoy this ongoing community event. In the case of inclement weather, cancellation notices will be placed here on the Front Porch Forum and in the Bennington Blotter.
