Habitat 7 Rivers’ 23rd annual Spring Walk to Build will take place Sunday, May 1, in Brunswick at 2 p.m. The organization’s largest fundraiser will begin at St. Charles Borromeo Church, 132 McKeen Street, and the anticipated 150 walkers will walk the 4-mile route. Midway, walkers will arrive at Habitat’s Hope Lane subdivision where there will be a brief groundbreaking ceremony for the final two of the four homes to be built on the site. Refreshments will be available there for walkers before they begin the return trip to St. Charles. The course is on sidewalks, on flat terrain, and is family-friendly.

“This is a very important event for Habitat for Humanity/7 Rivers Maine. To all the volunteers who donate their time, the enthusiastic walkers and their friends, colleagues and relatives who sponsor them with donations, and our generous business sponsors, we say thank you. Your support makes it possible for us to build new homes, and help homeowners with weatherizing and repairing houses in our 31-town service area in southern Midcoast Maine,” said Executive Director Steve Bolton.
