Volunteer Montgomery Raises Nearly $4K

Volunteer Montgomery held its 14th Walk-A-Thon to benefit the 16th Annual Supplies for Homebound Seniors program. The event was held on Thursday, October 12 from 10-12 at the Christiansburg Recreation Center and raised $3,921.

In January 2024, the project will provide many homebound seniors and veterans in Montgomery County and Radford with personal and household supplies when bad weather and high heating bills increase their hardship level.

Sheriff Partin of Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and Chief Ramsey of Christiansburg Police Department led the first lap and nineteen volunteers and community members walked 419 laps or 52 miles to kick off the Supplies for Seniors fundraising event. To date, $5,121 has been collected and donations are continuing to come in. We would like to recognize Christiansburg Recreation Center for sponsoring the event.
