hurch of the Ascension is leading a Help the CHomeless community walk on Saturday, Oct. 20, 3-6 p.m. at Lyon Park, 414 North Fillmore St. to benefit the Arlington-Alexandria Coa- lition for the Homeless. More than 70 church members, clients, staff, and volunteers will attend. Participants will enjoy a corn hole toss, a pie baking contest, tug-o-war, face paint- ing, and other activities. On any given night, more than 600,000 people are without homes across the U.S.. Nearly 40 percent are families and one in four is a child. The Help the Homeless Program raises funds to support organiza- tions working to prevent and end homelessness. Residents can make a difference in the lives of these families, children, and veterans by participating in a Help the Homeless community walk, making a do- nation, becoming a sponsor, or volunteering time to support organizations dedicated to serving homeless people. For more information about Help the Homeless, including how to register for a Help the Homeless walk, visit hthwalks.org.
