Our heart is to invest every minute and dollar donated intentionally into the lives of the people we're serving.
This may include covering a few nights at a hotel for a homeless friend, putting gas in someone's car to get them to a shelter, driving a friend to an appointment, helping one of our friends move, fill out forms, navigate the welfare system or buying them a cup of coffee, groceries or a meal. Financial donations may also go toward the cost of training, operating costs associated with the Out of the Cold Cafe, and other affordable housing initiatives. We are committed to using every dollar and every minute intentionally.
Extreme cold overnight warming centre
In October of 2022 the County of Simcoe asked if The Out Of The Cold Cafe would serve as the Extreme Cold Overnight Warming Centre for South Simcoe for the 2022-2023 season.
We had a CREW of 15 men and women step up to work overnight when the weather went below -15 or felt like -20.
Our first season was a success. The extended hours provided amazing opportunities to strengthen relationships with our guests. We were also able to assist 2 guests find safe and affordable long-term housing.
We are thrilled to be able to offer these services again for the 2023/34 season.
