On Sunday, March 22, RE&FA supported two of three charitable partners, Breaktime and FamiyAid, at the 10th Annual Winter Walk. The Winter Walk is an initiative that believes ending homelessness is within our reach. Their mission is to raise awareness and funds towards that goal, and to support organizations that are working on prevention, support, and care to our homeless community. It was a great day fundraising for an amazing cause.
