North Shore’s 37th Annual Good Friday Walk

Join the Beverly Good Friday Walk and raise funds to benefit families in need on the North Shore!

Register for North Shore’s 37th Annual Good Friday Walk and help needy families in the North Shore. This year, funds are needed more than ever and any walker who raises at least $20 will be given a commemorative walk t – shirt. The 10.5 mile walk will start at St. John the Evangelist School and proceed to the Baptist Church in Downtown Beverly, then continue on to the Church in the Cove and St. Margaret’s Church in Beverly Farms. Walkers will follow the same route back to St. John’s.

Lunch for all walkers will be served at St. John’s Episcopal Church in the hall. Both walkers and volunteers are needed. Walkers can obtain sponsor sheets by visiting www.goodfridaywalk.org. Walkers will enjoy the camaraderie, the scenic Beverly shoreline; great refreshments and the knowledge that they are doing something to help their neighbors in need here on the North Shore.

2013 Good Friday Walk

Good Friday Walk Mission Statement

  • The purpose of the Good Friday Walk, Inc. is to aid financially the poor and hungry.
     
  • The purpose and activities of the Good Friday Walk, Inc. are to raise money for the poor.
     
  • We shall conduct an annual sponsored walk on or near Good Friday and receive donations, through solicitations, throughout the year.
     
  • In the North Shore area, we shall assist the needy in housing, utilities bills, food, clothing and other essentials of life. The needy shall be identified by welfare agencies, advocates of the poor, churches and knowledgeable persons, i.e., those of us who know the individuals and their need.
     
  • We shall support and encourage shelters and soup kitchens, but not as a major contributor because they are capable of raising funds on their own.
     
  • We shall donate to Third World Self-Help Projects and Missionaries in the Bush, who are feeding, clothing and educating the poorest of the poor.
     
  • We shall respond to major disasters whenever possible
     
  • All our donations will be given speedily, generously and with love for our poor.
     
  • In 2005, 90% of the money raised stayed right here on the North Shore for rent assistance, utility bills, food and heating bills. Seven percent was given to those in dire need outside our area, such as the Hurricane Katrina and Tsunami victims
     
  • This is a charity where you can be assured that no money is wasted. We have no salaries, office space or expense account. Everyone helping to organize the Good Friday Walk is a volunteer. Expenses are only taken out to pay for printing, paper, postage and now our website. In 2005, this only added up to 3% of the operating budget.
