Out of the Cold Program 2024

This year’s Out of the Cold Program begins on the weekend of November 16^th & 17^th 2024. For 20 weeks, our volunteers will be preparing meals each week for 600 people in need. Once again we are partnering with two agencies (Good Shepherd Ministries on Queen Street East & the St. Felix Centre on Fraser Avenue) who will serve the meals at their locations, by local staff. The Out of the Cold Program is run by committed volunteers and relies on donations from individuals and businesses. This year, local experts say one in 10 Toronto residents now rely on food banks to get through the month.

There are 3 convenient ways to make a financial contribution:

1. There are Out of the Cold Envelopes available in the Cash or cheques can be placed in the Offertory collection at Mass at any time. Please make cheques out to “St. Patrick’s Church” and on the memo line write “Out of the Cold”.
2. Scan the QR code in the bulletin, or go to our parish website: stpatricksto.archtoronto.org and click on the Donate button in the top right. Choose “Parish Offertory” and follow the steps. It is important to indicate “Out of the Cold” in the “notes or directives” section.
