What has drawn many of us to become followers of Jesus is the simple fact that He loved us first.
Urban Hope is our expression of God’s love for all people.
We love serving whoever comes through our doors because extending love to others is a chance to extend our love to Jesus.
Coldest Night Of The Year
Annual fundraiser
An estimated 235,000 Canadians experience homelessness every year, and hundreds of thousands more face the constant challenge of living right on the edge. That’s who we walk for! People in your community. Neighbours down your street. Kids you see every day. Adults, youths, families, the elderly. Maybe you?
Team up, walk, and fundraise! It’s cold out there…but there’s no place like home. CNOY.org/Cambridge

Food Give Away Outreach
Ainslie Street Bus Terminal
On the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month, we can be found at the Galt bus terminal, giving away food, cold or hot drinks and prayer. Over the last number of years, we’ve been forging lasting relationships with many people, simply being present and loving. These friendships have led to so many rich shared experiences… births, deaths, baptisms. We are so grateful for our friends down at the Ainslie St. bus terminal.
Come hang out with us and meet our friends.
For more information on the services we provide or to get involved yourself, please speak to our Urban Hope co-ordinators, Christine and George Lakatos. urbanhope@cvcf.ca
