About EVENT
The annual Walk For LOVE is almost here, and we are coming together with Family & Friends for a day to walk together, laugh together, and make a difference together in our Lakes Region Community. It’s a beautiful opportunity for families, friends, neighbors, and church partners to unite around love, generosity for community impact.
Walk For LOVE is raising funds and collecting gift items for the upcoming 2026 Christmas Blessing Project. Funds will also go to support our neighbors in need throughout the year in the Lakes Region area. Every step you take helps us continue meeting practical needs, sharing the love of Jesus, and strengthening families in our community.
Walking Trail Info
Participants will enjoy a 3.2‑mile walk on the WOW Trail, beginning at Lakeport Entrance, walking to the turnaround point, and returning to Vineyard Church parking lot.
Immediately following the walk, we’ll host a heartfelt Volunteer Appreciation Celebration from 12:00–2:00 PM to honor the incredible individuals who serve our community with love and dedication. We’ll be serving hot dogs, burgers, and refreshments for all volunteers, walkers and families to enjoy.
