Mustard Seed seeking walkers and volunteers for ‘Coldest Night of the Year’
Red Deerians are encouraged to join a family-friendly fundraiser in support of the city’s hungry, homeless and hurting later this month.
‘The Coldest Night of the Year’ is a national walk for homelessness taking place in 120 different Canadian cities on Saturday, February 24.
In Red Deer, the event aims to raise money and awareness for the Mustard Seed, an organization that serves the men, women and children in our community experiencing poverty and homelessness, so their basic needs such as food and shelter can be met.
Scott Tilbury, Community Development Specialist for the Mustard Seed in Red Deer, says registration for the event starts at 4:00 p.m. at the Mustard Seed (6002 – 54 Ave.) February 24, with the Opening Ceremonies with Mayor Tara Veer beginning at 5:00 p.m.
