Grace Place Coldest Night of the Year Great Success!
by Scott A. Sumner
Grace Place began in the downtown south core to provide a safe haven for those facing homelessness by offering a warm place to gather, safe place to sleep and a hot meal.
The Grace Place Coldest Night of the year walk has raised over $1 million in 14 years. This years top fundraiser was over $3600. Grace Place has been operating for 14 years now.
They couldn't do it without the help of Summit Church, Redwood Church, Transformation Church, Saalem Church, Grassroots Church, Calgary Lutheran and St. Margaret's Church.
Kim Stajkowski was the top fundraiser this year. She also volunteers at Grace Place.
Grace Place went above their goal with 47 teams, 435 people walking, 80 volunteers helped and 489 bowls of chili were served. Melanie and Gary of Grace Place are totally dedicated to helping the less fortunate.
Next years walk is on February 27th, 2027
