Register today for the 35th annual COTS Walk. The COTS Walk is the nonprofit's largest annual event and a critical fundraiser to provide shelter, services, and housing to people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless in Vermont. You do not need to be present Walk Day in order to fundraise and help spread the word, although it is an incredible way to see a culmination of all of your hard work.
On COTS Walk Day – Sunday, May 7th- Join us in Battery Park! Music and registration kick off at 1 p.m. and the Walk begins at 2 p.m. Walkers are invited to stop outside each of COTS' 7 sites. We'll have interactive and up-close looks at our shelters, housing, and program spaces. Find the QR codes posted along the route to link to virtual tours of each stop and explore our 360 panoramas, sound bites, narrated videos, photos, clickable links, and so much more.
New on the route this year is our new Main Street Family Housing, co-located with our Main Street Family Shelter. This year, you will be able to see this multi-family apartment building that will provide 16 units of permanent, deeply affordable housing for families who have formerly experienced homelessness in our community.
Register or donate today at www.cotsonline.org or call (802) 864-7402 for more information.
Our fundraising goal is $210,000. Thanks to our generous sponsors, all money raised by Walkers goes directly to service and to support families and individuals in our community who are facing the crisis of homelessness. Last year, COTS served 1,024 people, including 257 children.
