On February 25^th, 2012, Mission Services of London hosted the Coldest Night of the Year, a 2.5, 5 & 10km walk in support of MSL’s work with the hungry, homeless and hurting in London.

We had 25 teams and 200 toque-wearing, cold-loving friends joined us. For our first year hosting the walk, our goal was to raise $36,000 . With the tremendous support of the community we were able to go above and beyond our goal. Our location raised over $50,000! Together, the 18 locations participating in the national walk were able to raise collectively over $600,000! 

Mission Services of London would like to thank all the walkers, sponsors, staff, volunteers, Trinity Lutheran Church for the use of the church, the ladies in the kitchen who served up some awesome chili after the event, the Town Crier for helping us kick off the event, Portuguese Bakery and Sobey’s for donating the buns, and the media for the great coverage of the event. Without everyone’s support we couldn’t have done it without you! We are truly grateful and blessed.
