Description

The Coldest Night of the Year is a winterrific family-friendly fundraising walk in support of local charities serving people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness... because it’s cold out there. Join us on February 28, 2026 - across the country, close to home! CFOC’s Doors of Compassion creates spaces of dignity and respect for people experiencing homelessness, poverty, or food insecurity through trauma-informed, person-centred care. As Durham Region’s largest emergency shelter provider, with locations in Ajax and Whitby, and through our service hub and food bank, we ensure access to essential supports while working to reduce stigma and strengthen community understanding. By participating in the Coldest Night of the Year on Saturday, February 28, 2026, supporters help advance stability, independence, and lasting impact for our most vulnerable neighbours.
