Building Community, Keeping People Safe, and Eradicating Violence Against Women


On February 28, 2026, we invite you to join us for the Coldest Night of the Year, a national fundraising event that brings communities together to walk in solidarity with those who face homelessness, hunger, and the dangers of life on the streets during the coldest months of the year. Naomi Society is a vital organization dedicated to empowering women and children in our community, and is proud to be a part of this life-changing event.


Building Community, Empowering Women, and Saving Lives


The Coldest Night of the Year is more than just a walk—it's a chance to come together as a community, stand up for those who need us most, and build a world where no one is left out in the cold.


The funds raised from this event will assist in creating a new facility for women and children fleeing violence that includes ten second stage housing units. The new project will include increased capacity for Naomi Society to deliver higher impact and a revenue generating space that may be a social enterprise owned and operated by Naomi Society.


Together, we can be a beacon of hope for the women and children who need us the most. Your participation in this event allows us to continue our essential work in providing refuge, healing, and the opportunity for a brighter, safer future.
