Winter walk raises money for women in poverty

Posted:

The streets of downtown South Bend were bustling Sunday afternoon with supporters walking for the St. Margaret's House 13th Annual Winter Walk.

The mile long walk kicked off at the county city building.  Gorgeous weather welcomed walkers Sunday but it's not always that way.  The walk is always scheduled in the middle of winter so participants can experience the life of a woman or child whose everyday means of transportation is their feet no matter what the weather's like.  Walker, Michelle Bryant said, "some of them don't have cars some of them it's all they can do just to keep the heat on in the winter."

The funds raised from the walk help St. Margaret's House, which supports women who struggle with economic poverty.
