2009 GRIP Harmony Walk to End Hunger

On October 10, 2009, members of UUCB participated with hundreds of friends, families, community members, local businesses, and publich officials in the 23rd annual GRIP Harmony Walk To End Hunger.

The purpose of this annual event is to raise awareness of, and funding for, hunger and homeless issues that families in our communities are faced with everyday! All monies raised fund the GRIP Family Housing Program and Souper Center which provide a comprehensive family resource center which focus on ending homelessness: a safe, decent, central location where families have room, board, comprehensive assistance and services on- and off-site and free hot noontime lunches 365 days a year. Each step taken as a walk participant brought us closer to our mission of ending homelessness. We support GRIP in the fight to end hunger and shelter the more than 14,757 homeless people in Contra Costa County.

UUCB is a member congregation of GRIP, a council of 40 churches, synagogues, and mosques in West Contra Costa County.
