Coldest Night of the Year- St. Catharines

The “Coldest Night of The Year” is more than just a walk; it’s a chance to walk in solidarity with those experiencing hurt, hunger and homelessness during the harsh winter months. Every step you take helps create a safe and welcoming space for individuals facing physical, emotional, or mental pain (hurting), struggling with food insecurity and poverty (hungry) and lack of stable affordable housing (homelessness).

Participation directly helps Start Me Up Niagara provide crucial services and programs, including:
• Access to medical supports
• Food security programs including “From Our Garden” program
• Resource Centre
• Bike Me Up program
• Niagara’s Mobile Closet

Why we are asking the public to participate?
• The Walk is a Family-Friendly event: Every year we ask our participants to join us in a memorable experience with friends, family or coworkers while supporting a vital cause.
• Support Local: All funds raised directly benefit Start Me Up Niagara, allowing us to continue our essential work in the community.
• Community Unity: The CNOY walk helps to connect with those who share their desire to help people in need, and build a stronger sense of community.
