Walk 4 Warmth Color Tour 2023: Rallying for Utility Assistance in Allegan County
As winter approaches and temperatures drop, our Allegan County community faces a chilling reality: the funds for utility assistance have been significantly cut for this coming year, which will leave many families and individuals struggling to keep their homes warm and the lights on. This alarming situation calls for a united effort from our community to support our neighbors in need. That’s why we invite you to participate in or donate to the Walk 4 Warmth fundraiser—an initiative that aims to raise funds for utility assistance and make a difference in the lives of struggling Allegan County families.
The Urgent Need for Support
The average utility assistance per household in 2021-2022 was $869.38—a lifeline that prevented the dire consequences of utility shut-offs for 601 families. These were not just numbers; they were our neighbors, families, children, and seniors who found themselves at risk of losing one of life’s most basic necessities—warmth.
