Walk with us on Saturday, February 28, 2026

Join Christian Faith Outreach Centre – Doors of Compassion in the national Coldest Night of the Year (Ajax 2026) fundraising walk to stand in solidarity with people facing homelessness, hunger and isolation in Durham Region.

Last year’s walk brought together more than 120 walkers across 18 teams, raising over $28,000 to support our low-barrier shelters and service hub. This year, we’re stepping out to reach even more: more walkers, more voices, more community impact.
