Canada's National Walk for Homelessness!
The Coldest Night of the Year is a super-fun, familyfriendly fundraiser that raises money and awareness for the Burnaby Society to End Homelessness and Burnaby Community Services which help the hungry, homeless and hurting families and youth Burnaby. Please consider seriously volunteering, walking, fundraising to our team Nelson Ave Community Church, or donating to a team member’s fundraising goal.
All the info is found on CNOY.org. Search for our team or a team member or register. Important: This is the week to sign up. To walk, it is $25.00 but after the 18th it will be $40.00.
This is one way in which we as a church can be present in partnership with those in our church neighborhood.
