About St. Felix Centre

Even in the coldest night, St. Felix Centre is full of warm hearts.

The cold season can be beautiful, full of treasured moments for most of us. However, there are members of our community that really struggle during these cold nights – homeless, hungry, and many times feeling hopeless. It is for them that we ask you to walk with us during the Coldest Night of the Year! St. Felix Centre, located in downtown Toronto, supports people experiencing poverty, homelessness, mental illness, and addictions, also with a long tradition of being 100% pet friendly. Participating in the Coldest Night of the Year event is an opportunity to get a closer understanding on how difficult it is to be out there on the “winter covered’ streets looking for a place to rest and at the same time raising funds to support our Centre. Be our “heroes without capes”! You will be creating memories by walking in the CNOY in support of St. Felix Centre for one night, but your donations will change many lives forever!
