TRAILER
In 2024, Coldest Night of the Year's theme was "Look Closer" — a call to action for participants, donors, volunteers, and the public, to pause and take a closer look at people who are experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness in Canada and across the US.
EPISODE 1: JANET'S STORY
"This season, we invite you to look closer – at the experiences of those experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness AND at the ways you can help affect change in your community. Start with Janet's story, it's powerful and unique and deserves to be heard."
EPISODE 2: JASON'S STORY
“A few missing pieces” left him homeless and emotionally exhausted, yet through the power of service and community he fought his way back – to a safe home, a meaningful job, and a heart full of hope.

Hannah's story is just one of many worth hearing and a powerful reason to look closer at the reasons behind hurt, hunger, and homelessness."
