About Our Cause

It's Cold Out There

CNOY is a moment each winter when we step out into the cold to support people in our community who are hurting.

People facing homelessness, hunger, and other hardships. People we know. Some we don't. People who are often just down the street. In every community CNOY raises critical funds for local charities who are supporting and serving our community.

We walk because too many of our neighbors are:

• Sleeping in unsafe places

• Struggling to feed their families

• Escaping violence and abuse

• Fighting isolation, trauma, addiction and mental health challenges

It could happen to anyone. So, every mile you walk and every dollar you fundraise helps someone move closer to stability, hope, and home.
