The Coldest Night of the Year is a winterrific family-friendly walk in support of local charities serving people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness. Join us on February 24, 2024 - team up, fundraise, walk, and take a moment to look closer... because it’s cold out there.
Why We Walk
Take a moment to look closer at the PBOH Warming Center with our Executive Director, Tom Niarhos and see why WE walk.

The Challenge
Got a big-hearted business, workplace, group, church, or community? Step up and join the Challenge to compete for your local pride in support of CNOY. Check the National Challengeboard to see more!
Pottstown Beacon of Hope builds trusting relationships with men and women experiencing homelessness while coordinating and facilitating the necessary resources to aid them in achieving personal growth, independent living, and permanent housing. We provide an atmosphere where hope, love and grace are our guiding principles.
We currently operate a rotating Warming Center in Pottstown at St. Paul’s UCC, First Presbyterian Church, St. James Lutheran, and Trinity Reformed UCC. Plans for a permanent 24/7 shelter in the Pottstown community are awaiting finalization.
Parking available on the street and in a lot behind the fire company.
