Join us for our 5th Annual Fall Fundraiser!
An evening of impact, connection, and community spirit.
​
Sidewalk Warriors Troy invites you to be part of a milestone celebration, our 5th Annual Fall Fundraiser! What began as a grassroots effort has grown into a powerful tradition of compassion and collaboration.
​
This special evening brings together neighbors, friends, volunteers, and local businesses in a shared commitment to uplifting those in need. It’s more than a fundraiser - it’s a reflection of what we can accomplish when a community comes together with purpose and heart.
​
Every contribution, big or small, helps us provide meals, essential supplies, and human connection to hundreds each week.
From inspiring stories to the warmth of familiar faces, this night highlights the strength, generosity, and resilience of our supporters.
​
Let’s honor five years of kindness on the ground and keep the momentum going. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
