Once again, 2958's Women of Steel (WOS) has exemplified what it means to be a good
steward of our community. On February 22nd they hosted a team for this year's “Walk-a-Mile”
for the Kokomo Rescue Mission. On that sunny 13° morning, the WOS team took to the streets
to experience what it is like to be homeless in our city.
Starting at the corner of Mulberry and Washington, our brothers and sisters made their way
through downtown, taking a turn on to the Industrial Heritage Trail toward the Open Arms
Shelter for women and children. There they received a tour of one of the facilities their
donations helped fund. Afterwards it was back into the cold to make the half mile journey to
Grace UMC where they were met with a hot breakfast.
With internet donations still coming in, they do not have an exact donation total at the time of
printing, but estimates put it between $1500-$2000 for our locals team, and over a dozen in
person walkers. Special thanks to Erin Kelly, Caitlyn Martinez, and all other members of WOS
for their efforts in ensuring this fundraiser was a success.
Walk with Women of Steel Was A Success!!
