Join Oxford House in the Coldest Night of the Year
π¬οΈ Oxford House is lacing up our boots and hitting the pavement for the Coldest Night of the Year on February 24, 2024! βοΈ
Why do we brave the cold? Because every step we take is a declaration of concern for those battling addiction without a home, seeking refuge in the shadows. π
At Oxford House, we believe in the power of collective action. The Coldest Night of the Year is not just a walk; it's a symbolic journey of empathy and solidarity. This year, we invite you to start or join a team, lace up your boots, and step out into the winter night with purpose.
We walk for those facing daily struggles to stay sober, fighting to support their families, and enduring nights filled with fear and frustration. π
Our steps echo with the resilience of individuals fighting battles that many cannot comprehend. Addiction, homelessness, and the struggle to maintain sobriety are challenges that require our collective attention and support. Every step you take during the Coldest Night of the Year sends a message of hope and solidarity to those who need it the most.
We walk for the souls driven from home by violence and abuse. We walk for those drowning in isolation, guilt, and despair. πΆββοΈ
In the stillness of the night, we step forward for those who have been silenced by the harsh realities of life. By participating in this event, you become a beacon of light, offering support to those who have been cast into the shadows. Your presence and your steps speak volumes about your commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of others.
With each step, we humbly acknowledge that anyone can lose their footing and, in turn, lose everything else. π€
Life can be unforgiving, and circumstances can change in the blink of an eye. The Coldest Night of the Year is a reminder that, in our shared humanity, we must extend our hands to lift others up when they stumble. Together, we acknowledge the fragility of life and the importance of standing together as a community.
But here's the powerful part β every step in the Coldest Night of the Year brings someone closer to safety, sobriety, physical and mental health, home, recovery and HOPE. π
Your steps are not just strides on the pavement; they are steps towards positive change. The funds raised through this event contribute to providing safety, nourishment, and support for those in need. Each step is a promise of a better tomorrow. Each $135 raised is a month in an Oxford House peer supported recovery home.
Join us this year and show you care by fundraising for the Oxford House Foundation of Canada at the Calgary Chinook location. Ask your friends to walk alongside you. Let's make a difference, step by step. πΆββοΈ
