SUMMARY:Trek For Vets
DESCRIPTION:Walk Together for a Greater Purpose: Trek For Vets Comes to Chelsea\nOn Friday, May 22, at 5:30 PM, our community will have the opportunity to be part of something truly meaningful as Trek For Vets, a 1.4-mile walk, passes through Chelsea.\nThis isn’t just a walk—it’s a journey of hope.\nTrek For Vets is a 500-mile walk across Michigan, covering 20 miles a day for 25 days, with a mission to raise awareness around veteran isolation, homelessness, and suicide. It’s a powerful reminder that the burdens people carry are often unseen—and that healing begins when people choose to walk alongside one another.\nAs the trek comes through Chelsea, everyone is invited to join for a portion of the walk, beginning at the M-52 Roundabout (near Robin Hills Farm, Mugg & Bopps/Vogels) and continuing into downtown. Whether walking the full distance or simply showing up in support, every step reflects a shared commitment to connection, compassion, and care.\nTo help make participation accessible for all, W.A.V.E. will be providing shuttle transportation:\n\nTo the starting point (Robin Hills, Mugg & Bopps/Vogels): departures from Palmer Commons at 5:00 PM, 5:15 PM, and 5:30 PM\nReturn trips after the event: departures from Palmer Commons at 7:00 PM and 7:15 PM\n\nThis allows everyone to park, gather, and participate in a way that works best for them.\nThis event is made possible through the partnership of Pro Allies and Chelsea First United Methodist Church, alongside many local organizations and businesses that share a heart for this mission. Together with partners including Trek For Vets Coffee, Chelsea Area Fire Authority, Chelsea Police Department, City of Chelsea, Chelsea Senior Center, Chelsea Chamber of Commerce, Chelsea American Legion Post 31, Washtenaw County Veteran Services, Grass Lake VFW Post 10194, Culver’s, La Jolla Jewelers, W.A.V.E., 5 Healthy Towns, Stockbridge American Legion Post 510, Polly’s Country Market, Mugg & Bopps (Vogels), The Lake House Bakery, Brian’s Service, LLC, CHS Varsity Football Team, Robin Hills and Ursula Hoppe Photography, this effort reflects the strength and compassion of a community coming together.\nFollowing the walk, the community is invited to gather at Palmer Commons for a free cookout—a time to share a meal, build relationships, and learn more about the mission of Trek For Vets, including their initiative to fund the journey through Trek For Vets Coffee, symbolizing one case of coffee for every mile walked. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn more about Pro Allies (proallies.org), a program dedicated to supporting first responders, veterans, frontline workers, and their families through connection, care, and practical resources.\nThis is who we are at our best: a community that shows up, that walks together, and that believes no one should face life’s challenges alone.\nAll are welcome. Come as you are. Walk as you’re able. Stand in support.\n
