Neighbor Walks Kickoff Walk & Block Party

***Due to the inclement weather, the event will be held inside the Chaplin-Perez Center.***

Join NeighborWorks Blackstone River Valley and Thundermist Health Center as they kick off the Neighbor Walks program in Constitution Hill as part of the 100 Woonsocket Walkers Program.  The initiative encourages City residents to improve their health and well being by walking.  Neighbor Walks participants will meet each weekday to walk in Constitution Hill and are eligible to earn prizes for their participation. 

Neighbor Walks is an initiative focused on improving health and building relationships amongst residents in the Constitution Hill neighborhood as part of the Our Neighborhoods Community Contract.  Partners like Thundermist Health Center and convening agency NeighborWorks Blackstone River Valley have worked with residents over the past few years to implement resident-led initiatives like this throughout the Constitution Hill, Fairmount, and Main Street neighborhoods.

The kick off celebration for Neighbor Walks will be held on Friday, July 8th from 6:30-8:30pm at the Chaplin Perez Community Center (37 Center St. in Woonsocket).  It will feature a potluck dinner and open grill, a free health resource fair, demos, giveaways, games, and music with guest host, Victor Ramos of “That Bilingual Show”.  The event is free and the public is encouraged to attend.  All children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
