Family Promise of Chippewa Valley are thanking those who participated in their annual Hike for the Homeless over the weekend.
The two-and-a-half-mile walk was held on Saturday at Phoenix Park in Eau Claire with an estimated 200 people participating. Family Promise says the money raised will go to help families in need through the Beacon House shelter. Family Promise Executive Director Amy Giani said a lack of affordable housing in the Eau Claire area is a main contributing factor to the homeless crisis.
