Annual COTS Walk 2010 May 2, 2010

Sunday, May 2nd
Starting from Battery Park in Burlington at 2:00 p.m. (Check-in at 1:30 p.m.)

The Annual COTS Walk is a 3-mile trek around downtown Burlington starting from Battery Park, following the route a homeless person might travel to receive shelter and services. This is the one day of the year that we open our shelters to the community so people can see how their pledges are put to use.

At 2pm, participants are led by the drummers of Sambatucada down the Church Street Marketplace along Main Street and into surrounding neighborhoods. Along the way, walkers are invited into COTS shelters to see COTS facilities "up close and personal." The walk takes 45 minutes to an hour and concludes back at Battery Park where walkers are met with music, Ben & Jerry's ice cream and other free refreshments.
