Coldest Night of the Year!
Keep Morningstar Cooking!
On Saturday, February 22, teams of walkers will take to the streets of Napanee for the second annual Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY) walk in support of Morningstar Relief Mission. CNOY is a family-friendly walk-a-thon—national in scope but local in impact—benefiting charities that serve hungry, homeless and hurting people in communities across Canada.
Last year, in Greater Napanee alone, thirty teams mobilized 137 walkers and helped raise nearly $40,000. Thanks to their efforts Morningstar was able to purchase the building on Water Street. This year, the CNOY goal is $30,000 and the Board has ear-marked all funds raised for much-needed renovations to the kitchen facilities.
An average month sees Morningstar volunteers serve app. 670 hot meals. Feeding people has always been one of Morningstar’s core priorities. The old kitchen has served the community faithfully for many years, but it will not be able to continue to feed people, safely, without being brought up to code.
By taking part in the CNOY walk for Morningstar you will keep Morningstar cooking and contribute to a volunteer-driven charity that continues to bring hope and help to people in our community who need your support.
Participants can register online to walk 2, 5, or 10 km on a safe, looping 5 km route. There will be a rest stop and route marshals. It's easy to create a personal fundraising page, set a goal, add a picture and start to build awareness among friends and families.
