On a chilly evening marking the Coldest Night of the Year 2019, the Progressive Housing Society Team stepped out with enthusiasm and determination. Eight of our team members joined this event, renowned for its mission to raise awareness and funds for the homeless and those in the grip of poverty.
Each member took it upon themselves to gather pledges, reaching out to friends, family, and colleagues to support their endeavor. Their efforts were not in vain, as the eight walkers collectively raised an impressive sum of $1,195. This achievement was a testament to their commitment and the generosity of those who contributed to their cause.
