Our fifth annual Coldest Night of the Year Walk is on February 24th. This 2, 5, or 10 km hike is a fundraiser for Feed the Hungry and Kairos (Bankview Apartments). You can sign up to walk or donate at www.thechillteam.com Bankview apartments (sister project to Acadia Place) is a project that supports housing first, a successful model that places people in a home with the supports they require to live a long and prosperous life. Located in southeast Calgary, Acadia Place, which is owned by Calgary Homeless Foundation and operated by CUPS, has a blend of single adults, couples and families, with the majority being families who were experiencing homelessness or were at extreme risk of becoming homeless. KAIROS Calgary, an ecumenical Social Justice initiative in Calgary, is currently fundraising for the mortgage on Bankview (as we did last year for Acadia Place). Funds raised from CNOY will support this effort. Feed the Hungry (FTH) is a Sunday Night dinner program offering a sit down meal in St. Mary’s Hall in downtown Calgary. A ministry of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Calgary, each week FTH offers 500 guests a three course dinner that is served by volunteers. FTH is intentional about creating an atmosphere of dignity and welcome. Proceeds will support the ongoing needs of the program.
