Walk with Us to Keep People Warm & Housed

Keeping people housed is the purpose of the Walk 4 Warmth on Friday, February 7, when United Way of Anchorage will lead a half-mile walk along the Delaney Park Strip and C Street from First Presbyterian Church to the […]

LIVE UNITED – so much more than a tag line as we close the decade of a tumultuous 2019.
