The Lighthouse Serving the Battlefords assists people living with poverty in the community.
The Lighthouse is inviting community members to take part in the Coldest Night of the Year Walk Feb. 20 to raise funds for the organization and to raise awareness of issues facing the homeless.
“Involvement in this walk impacts hundreds of lives in a positive way, helping build a bright future that once seemed out of reach,” says Lighthouse manager Caitlin Glencross in a press release.
The Lighthouse urges community members to sign up a team as a business or sas an individual.
Registration can be done on cnoy.org. After registering, each team will have its own personal fundraising page where there will be access to pledge sheets.
Registration begins at 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20, with opening ceremonies at 5 p.m. and the walk itself beginning at 5:15 p.m. Between 6 and 8 p.m. a warm, light meal will be served to all walkers and volunteers.
“So, be sure to linger with us afterwards, share some laughs, hang with some friends and celebrate the walk - at least till you warm up,” says Glencross.
