As the unforgiving chill of winter grips Canada, many face the harsh reality of enduring freezing temperatures without the safety and warmth of a safe place to call home.
This year, you can support individuals experiencing hunger, hurt, and homelessness by walking in Blue Door’s Coldest Night of the Year – Richmond Hill fundraising walk. February 22nd, 2025
Whether you walk 2- or 5-kilometres, donate to existing walkers, or volunteer your time, you will help ensure that everyone in our community has a safe, warm place to call home this winter.
Your support can make life-saving differences during the season when it’s needed the most.
