          The City of Detroit Department of Human Services Presents the

                       Annual Heat the Streets & Walk for Warmth
                           http://www.heatthestreets.org/

The purpose of the walk is to raise funds to help hundreds of pre-qualified, low-income families keep their heat on during the cold winter months.

Don't delay - act now!  You can help through participating in the run or walk, volunteering, or simply donating monetarily.  Winter is approaching very fast, and energy costs are on the climb.
