Fight homelessness, hunger at GRIP ‘Harmony Walk’

By Kathy Chouteau

There’s still time to sign up for the Greater Richmond Interfaith Program’s (GRIP’s) 38th GRIP Harmony Walk to End Hunger and Homelessness, set for Saturday, Oct. 5th, 2024 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Richmond’s Nicholl Park.

All it takes to register is $38 per person—which includes swag and access to event activities—with proceeds helping to support GRIP’s work toward ending hunger and homelessness in West Contra Costa County.

“This year, we’ll be keeping the walk short and are hoping to focus the energy of the event at the park, where we’ll have games, kids’ activities, and more. Our hope is to have even more booths and food trucks than last year,” said Harmony Walk Chair and GRIP Board Member Jilly de la Torre. Celebrity guests, elected leaders, raffle prizes, live music and more are also planned for the park.

The Harmony Walk is GRIP’s largest public event, raising nearly $50,000 to support its mission. Last year’s event saw donors such as Chevron, Sims Metal, Mechanics Bank, Kaiser Permanente, EBMUD and so many more supporters step up to help.
