Walk for Warmth event scheduled for Saturday

New Opportunities 24th annual Walk for Warmth event will be held Saturday at the First Congregational Church.

Every year the organization holds the walk as a way to raise money for people who need help paying their costly energy bills and don’t qualify for federal or state funding. The more money raised the more people New Opportunities can help heat their homes.

Larry Elliot, community service director for New Opportunities of Greater Meriden said last year the walk raised $24,000 and this year the organization is aiming to raise $35,000.
