NEWS RELEASE
HOPE HOUSE
******************************
Join HOPE House Saturday, Feb. 22 for the Coldest Night of the Year, a family-friendly walk for Guelph's hurting, hungry and homeless.
Last year's Coldest Night of the Year event raised $86,860! Isn't that amazing? Four hundred and five walkers on 54 teams made this happen. We are so thankful to you all.
We think that in 2020, you, Guelph, can surpass that goal in order to help the hurting, hungry and homeless right here in our city. This year we've set our goal at $95,000! To raise that, we need approximately 450 walkers across 60 teams to join us. Are you up for the challenge?
Participants start at the Guelph Armory at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 22. Two, five and 10 km distances lead everyone to HOPE House where there will be a hot, free meal for all. An accessible entry and elevator are located at our Church Lane entrance.
Put a team together or join our team, HOPE Walks, and come walk with us during the Coldest Night of the Year to make a difference in the lives of others!
Please wear good walking waterproof shoes or boots, warm coat and mitts. You’ll get a really cool toque there!
Register a team of your friends, family, co-workers or team mates by visiting here. All proceeds raised go directly to HOPE House. Learn more about the critical programs we offer here.
HOPE to see you there!
