On Saturday, February 28th communities throughout the Ottawa Valley will be walking the streets of Pembroke in support of those facing homelessness and insecure housing, raising funds for The Grind as a part of the Coldest Night of the Year initiative.
St. Paul's Cobden has generously sponsored a rest-stop on behalf of the Parish of the Valley. Rest-stops will provide warming refreshments for walkers throughout the walk. Volunteers are now being requested to support the Coldest Night of the Year on the day. These positions include a variety of indoor and outdoor positions (greeters and cheerleaders, setup/teardown crew, etc.) You can learn more and register at https://cnoy.org/volunteer. In the drop-down location box, scroll down to find and select "Pembroke - The Grind Pembroke" and you will be shown volunteer opportunities for our local event.
Please consider lending your support to this initiative to care for our neighbours through these cold winter months.
