About Eagles Nest

On February 22nd join Eagles Nest for the Coldest Night of the Year and be a part of a story that restores hope in our community.

Together we will walk to raise funds for HOPE Centre- Home of Practical Education. The Centre is a safe place in our community that provides practical support to families and individuals who have experienced trauma, loss, or are facing difficult life circumstances. Through accessible services and support programs, individuals discover their true identity and become equipped with tools for a healthier future. The Coldest Night of the Year is an opportunity for our community to make a difference in the lives of others!
