Walk for Warmth is a statewide fundraising campaign, geared at helping low-income citizens in Saginaw County obtain the funds needed to heat their homes during Michigan’s notoriously cold winter season. This year, Saginaw County Community Action Community (CAC) plans to raise $25,000 with its 12th Annual Walk For Warmth, on Saturday, April 12, 2025.
Participating citizens will gather pledges from sponsors and walk a predetermined two-mile route inside the Fashion Square Mall. All funds raised at the Walk for Warmth event will directly supply qualified residents with energy fuels and assistance for their homes.
