About City Hope Foundation
Join us on February 28 as we walk and fundraise together for our neighbours who face hurt, hunger, and homelessness. Each step and each dollar raised, helps us continue to offer our expanding service and support. Walking shoulder to shoulder will remind us all that our shared compassion is what makes us such a great community. We need each other and It’s Cold Out There.
