 The May 21, 2023, Walk for the Homeless, sponsored by the Wareham Area Clergy Association, was a huge success. We thank everyone for their support and participation.
The Clergy Association donated all funds collected from the Walk to Turning Point, the day resource center of the Wareham Area Committee for the Homeless. More than $14,000 was donated, and Turning Point is honored to be the recipient of these funds—funds necessary for Turning Point to fulfill its Mission to provide a hand up and assistance to our homeless neighbors and to our neighbors facing possible homelessness. We would like to thank the community for its ongoing support of the Wareham Area Clergy Association and for supporting Turning Point.
