Milton Transitional Housing

THANK YOU TO MILTON! Our 2021 Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser is very successful with more than $80,000 raised (so far) for Milton Transitional Housing.

Milton Transitional Housing is ecstatic to report that our 2021 COLDEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR event has raised MORE THAN $80,000! We are so grateful to the generous Milton community!

The Canadian Federation of University Women, Milton branch (CFUW), is a staunch supporter of Milton Transitional Housing and our COLDEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR fundraiser. Most CFUW members are either volunteers, walkers or donors and sometimes all three! The 2021 CFUW team fundraised $8, 575 from 91 donors. THANK YOU to CFUW for being our best friends! Below are photos of 2 of the 6 CFUW walkers this year.

The ITALIAN CULTURAL CENTRE OF MILTON had the second-highest fundraising team for CNOY Milton, raising $9,404 (so far) for MILTON TRANSITIONAL HOUSING. We are SO GRATEFUL! Thank you to all 15 walkers on the ICCM team!

Every ad’s like, ‘hey, hashtag we’re all in this together!’, but sometimes it feels like we’re more disconnected than ever. We’re all so different. It’s hard to know where to start... it’s like, everyone sees just their little piece of the world, but nobody’s quite sure how we all fit together. This past year has shaken our lives. Some people muddled through, but some slipped through the cracks. Some people are experiencing abuse, trying to get through the day while missing meals. Searching for a safe place to sleep, maybe for the first time. Maybe they made choices they regret, or maybe they were blindsided by something totally unpredictable. And now they’re lost, wondering if there’s a place for them tonight. And it’s cold out there. That’s what the Coldest Night of the Year is about. It’s when people of all shapes and colors connect together, whether virtually or in-person, to see the bigger picture. To walk out into a cold Canadian night and raise money for charities serving people and families experiencing homelessness, hurt, and hunger. So join us this February - register to walk, start a team, fundraise, volunteer, donate, and share #cnoy21. Because there is a place for everyone.
