Save the Date: Walk for Warmth 2026
Every year, hundreds of Windham area residents participate in WAIM's Walk for Warmth because they believe their neighbors ought to remain in warm, safe, dignified housing. This year's Walk is on Sunday, November 22, from 12:30 to 4:30 starting at Temple Bnai Israel at 383 Jackson Street in Willimantic. Many thanks to our dear friends at the synagogue for hosting!
It's Fall & Winter Fashion Season at WAIM!
You have likely noticed a slight chill in the air in recent mornings. Help our community members stay warm by donating gently used cool- and cold-weather clothing items, as well as space heaters that are in good shape. We often have a harder time stocking men's winter clothes, gloves, and (new) boxers and boxer briefs.
WAIM accepts material goods donations from 9 am to 12 pm, Tuesday through Saturday at our Riverside Drive entrance. As always, thank you for your generosity!
