Prince George's AWAC is asking people to join the Coldest Night of the Year walk Feb. 25 to fundraise for the unhoused.
The Coldest Night of the Year takes place Saturday, Feb. 25 and is an annual family-friendly walk to raise funds for local charities serving people who are experiencing hurt, hunger and homelessness.
The Prince George event is hosted by AWAC and starts at St. Giles Presbyterian Church, 1500 Edmonton St. People can start gathering at 4 p.m. The walk begins at 5 p.m. and there is a hot meal waiting at 6 p.m. once the two-kilometre or five-kilometre walk is completed by participants. So far there are 103 walkers in 23 teams, with nine volunteers ready to help out the fundraising effort for AWAC, the Association Advocating for Women and Community that is a non-profit that offers safe and supportive shelter for street-involved women and men. With the rate of homelessness increasing in Prince George AWAC has created Housing First, Outreach, Housing Readiness, Mark’s Place and Olive’s Branch therapeutic community house programs.
