12:00 pm Registration
1:00 pm Walk Begins
Our Annual Walk for Housing is back this spring! Please join us Sunday, April 23, 2023, at Washington’s Headquarters.
We will walk together to raise critical funds for Habitat Newburgh’s ongoing builds and raise awareness of Habitat Newburgh’s affordable homeownership program and local families’ struggles to afford the #costofhome.
On our walk, we will see past accomplishments, ongoing construction, and be reminded of the progress that is possible when we come together to build homes, community, and hope.
The walk begins at Washington’s Headquarters (84 Liberty Street, Newburgh). Tentative times: registration begins at 12:00 PM and the walk begins at 1:00 PM.
The Walk is 2.6 miles. A shorter 1.5-mile route is also available.
We hope that you will join us- every step brings a family closer to home.
Meet at Washington’s Headquarters Park (Liberty & Washington St.) to register.
Enjoy music and other festivities.

In a partnership among the PresbyBuild churches, the Hudson River Presbytery, and Newburgh Habitat and their partner families, we work to provide decent, affordable housing, restore a sense of community with strong neighborhoods and dignity through home ownership. PresbyBuild’s efforts have an international reach as well: Through Habitat’s system of tithing, we have sponsored four additional houses in Ethiopia and Mexico.
It is our conviction that these efforts, by the grace of Christ, manifest the presence of God’s shalom.
